Donate your beverage tabs to
Georgia 4-H, help others
G
eorgia 4-H members have
been collecting aluminum
can tabs to raise money for
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Georgia for 15
years. The students need to collect 16,500 pounds of the tiny tabs
by Nov. 5 to reach their goal: a total 15-year donation of $100,000.
One pound of aluminum is equal
to about 1,500 pop tabs.
Each year, Georgia 4-H rotates the donations among the
locations of Ronald McDonald
Houses in Georgia. This year's
pop tabs will support the Augusta house.
Georgia 4-H members in sixth
through eighth grades will bring
their pop tabs to the 4-H Junior Conference at Rock Eagle 4-H Center
in Eatonton Nov. 5-6. The pop tab
project is one of many communityservice projects that culminate each
year at the conference.
This year, 4-H members are also
collecting personal care items to create "blessing bags" for families staying in Ronald McDonald Houses.
"Families may forget things like
soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes if they come
to a Ronald McDonald House in a
hurry," says Lori Bledsoe, Georgia 4-H Northwest District program

coordinator.
Evans County 4-H member Hannah Summers organized a project
to collect diapers of all sizes at the
conference. Donated diapers will be
given to a nonprofit agency that provides them for families in need.
To donate pop tabs, personal
care items or diapers for these projects, contact your local University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension office.

Central Georgia, visit rmhccga.org.
