MVD collects aluminum can tabs for Arizona Ronald McDonald houses

Three people pose for a photo in front of a bench and next to boxes filled with aluminum cab tabs.

Opening the cold soda can on a hot Arizona day gives the sound of cool refreshment:  Pssssssssssssschhh! Hopefully just reading that sentence helps you hear that sound in your head as the warmer temperatures are here. 

Each aluminum soda can has a special pop tab that helps crack open the soft drink.  But did you know that those tabs can also deliver a big difference to help the Ronald McDonald House Charities? Recycling those pop tabs is a fun and easy way to fundraise. The money from those small tabs can make a big difference for the families who stay at any of the houses in Arizona. 

Well, that is exactly what the MVD Community Connections team wanted to find out for themselves. They decided to collect those little aluminum tabs for an entire year and give them to both chapters of the Ronald McDonald House Charities. MVD employees took the time to tear off the tabs from cans, collect them and take them to their respective MVD offices. Together, 27 MVD locations raised over 445 pounds of these valuable tabs. 

The offices that collected the most pop tabs were Glendale (28 pounds), Kingman (66 pounds), Tucson North (73 pounds) and the biggest collection came from the team at the Lake Havasu MVD office. They collected over 164 pounds of pop tabs. 

With offices statewide, the MVD team decided that half of the pop tabs should go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central and Northern Arizona, and the other half to the RMHC of Southern Arizona

Each of these chapters help provide families traveling for their child’s medical needs a welcoming home away from home. Where families can rest, rejuvenate, and be together during the difficult times medical treatments can bring.
