Tabs For Shriners Hospital For Children

Those pesky little tabs on every beverage can, what to do with them? Here's the answer, save them and donate them to the Shriners Hospital for children. Everyday, over $1.6 million is spent on operating the 22 Shriners Hospitals throughout North America and here is a way for you to help that doesn't cost a dime. When you are finished with your beverage, just remove the tab and start helping out our tab drive. When you have accumulated a bowl, bucket, or barrel full of these little gems, bring them to the credit union (1251 N. Front St., Reading or 806 Mountain Home Road, Sinking Spring).

Once the tabs are collected and sent to a collection site, they are weighed and money is earned per pound. The money raised is put into good use helping the patients and so far thousands of dollars have been raised through the tab program. Remember, helping children is the most important cause! Since 1926, Shriners Hospital for Children, Philadelphia has been providing medical care at no cost to children between the ages of birth to 18 years of age, with orthopaedic conditions resulting from injuries and diseases of the bones, joints and muscles as well as spinal cord injuries.
