Can tab fundraiser:
NHS is hosting a pop tab fundraiser to raise money for The Ronald McDonald House so they can continue helping families physically, economically, and emotionally during their healthcare journey. The RMHC takes the tabs we collect to be recycled and receive a sum of money in exchange. This money then goes to the families the RMHC provides to help with medical bills as well as clothing, food, and any other needs. You can donate your can tabs to the plastic jars located in the commons or the front office! Please consider donating to lend a helping hand to those in need!
