GIVING BACK IN A SMALL WAY MAKES A BIG IMPACT By Lisa Poremba, Life Enrichment Director, River Garden Hebrew Home River Garden Resident Council treasurer, Frances Young, has been chairing a pop tab collection committee since October 2020. She does this in blessed memory of her dear friend, George Klein.
The Ronald McDonald House (RMHC) was Mr. Klein’s favorite charity and he started the pop tab collection committee several years ago at River Garden Hebrew Home. Throughout his years at River Garden, he made several donations of pop tabs. The pop
tabs are recycled for cash to help provide housing for families visiting Jacksonville while their children receive medical care. RMHC reports that pop tab collections have helped raise over $5,000 each year for its families. So far, Mrs. Young and her resident committee have collected over 20 pounds of pop tabs; there are roughly 1,128 tabs per pound.
The pop tabs will be delivered early this month.
