<div>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.</div>
<div>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.<br>
