Pop Tab Collection
Collecting pop tabs is a great way to teach kids about philanthropy and the importance of recycling in the U.S., while raising funds to help children and their families at the same time. Some of our Chapters raise thousands of dollars with their pop tab collections each year. Ask your local Chapter if they have a Pop Tab Collection program and learn more!
