Ronald L. Kahn Pull Tab Program

Small tabs. Big impact.

Collecting pull tabs is a simple way to help support families staying at Ronald McDonald House Northeast Ohio.

Pull tabs from aluminum cans are recycled, and the funds raised help provide essential services for families with children receiving medical care. It’s an easy, fun way for individuals, schools, and organizations to make a meaningful difference.

Did you know 1lb = 1,000 tabs? From the generous support of the community, we are able to generate over 10,000 lbs of pull tabs every year.
