[Community-service] Looking for ideas

Tue Jan 7 17:00:41 UTC 2014

Ronald McDonald houses collect the poptops from soda or beer cans and they
recycle them. This is one way them make money and the pop tops are so small
they don't take up so much room and hundreds of people save them for the
organization.
I got to take a large bag of tops when I was staying with at one of their
houses. They do great things for families who are in the hospital for long
stays. At the hostipals they have a room with free food, coffee and a
microwave. In their houses, they supply dinner every night and some
breakfast foods in the monrings. They have toilteries on an as needed
basis. I have McDonalds, but I love their charity. I spent 26 days in the
hospital with my newborn this year.
