Monthly Charity Efforts

We collect unused (disconnected) cell phones at our monthly meetings!  These phones are donated to Call To Protect, a national initiative to fight domestic abuse.  These phones enable victims to call for police assistance in a threatening situation. http://www.calltoprotect.org/
 

Bring in your pop-tops!  The pop-tops we collect at our meetings are sold to scrap metal recycling centers.

Ronald McDonald Houses provide a “home away from home” for families of seriously ill children (for cancer, diabetes, and other illnesses) who are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.  Some children must travel great distances to get the medical attention they need, and their treatment may last one day, a year or even longer.  For the families of these children, accommodations can be hard to come by; options are often limited to costly hotels or hospital chairs and benches.  The Ronald McDonald House provides a comfortable, supportive temporary residence where family members can sleep, eat, relax and find support from other families in similar situations.

The money raised from recycling pop-tops helps support the families of children undergoing treatment who stay at the Ronald McDonald House.  Visit Their Website
 

How often do you stay in a hotel?  Pick up the unused complimentary toiletries offered by the hotels.  We collect these at our monthly meetings and donate them to local battered womens shelters.
