Even our youngest community members can make an impact! Elementary and middle school students can get involved by making door decorations for family rooms, collecting wish list items, or hosting pop tab drives. Every project helps spread kindness and support to families staying close to their children.
The pop tabs by themselves do not mean much; however, when collected, they add up to become a valuable donation to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern NC. You can help us “pull together” by collecting the tabs you pull to open soda, soup, and other cans.
Invite your neighborhood, friends, and family to provide goods for a donation drive!
