Meal Providers

Dayton

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Dayton provides a community of comfort and hope through our House and Family Rooms for families of critically ill or injured children in the hospital. Families spend long days at the hospital and often have little time, energy, or resources to prepare a meal. The gift of a freshly prepared, balanced meal is always enjoyed and gives families a feeling of normalcy when they are away from home.

OUR FAMILIES Our House offers 14 families a room each night and our Family Rooms see nearly 35-70 visitors a day. Giving these families the gift of a home-cooked meal allows them to focus on what matters most - the care of their child.

OUR KITCHEN Breakfast (weekends only) Lunch (weekends only) Dinner

30-40

guests per meal

Meals must be prepared at the House or come from a commercially licensed kitchen. Our kitchen accommodates eight to ten volunteers and is equipped with basic cookware essentials.

Pull Tab Collection

Dayton

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Dayton provides a community of comfort and hope to families of critically ill or injured children in the hospital. We ask that families donate $15 per night’s stay; however, no family is turned away if they are unable to pay. The actual cost for us to welcome a family for a night is $150. Even with an army of volunteers, there is a financial need to make sure that we are keeping families of hospitalized children close!

How Pull Tabs Help Pull Tabs are a simple way to raise funds and involve the community in the mission of RMHC Dayton. We take the collected pull tabs and recycle them – receiving the market price for aluminum which ranges from $0.40 to $0.80 per pound. The money raised helps operate the House and Family Rooms.

1. Collection o so

1 lb. = 1,000 pop tabs *no full cans (for safety and storage reasons)

2. Storage Any container can be used. RMHC Dayton sells small and large cardboard pull tab containers. Stop by 555 Valley Street to pick yours up!

3. Delivery Drop off at the Ronald McDonald House 555 Valley Street, Dayton, OH 45404 Any time 9 AM - 9 PM Or drop them in the Pull Tab House outside!

No appointment required to drop off pull tabs, but if you would like a tour of our House or Family Room, please contact us! William Crabtree Community Engagement Coordinator [email protected] (937) 224-0047 x14


Tab-a-PULL-ooza

Dayton

Bring your tab collection to our annual Tab-A-PULL-ooza pull tab contest! This family-friendly event is a great way to show children the benefits of both recycling and giving back to the community. Donations will be weighed and then poured into a large commercial dumpster provided by First Street Recycling - allowing attendees to see firsthand the remarkable things that can happen when a community “pulls” together!

What we do with pull tabs Pull tabs are taken to First Street Recycling to be recycled for their salvage value. The revenue generated from tabs collected throughout the year, generate approximately $16,000 for RMHC Dayton annually. These funds help us continue to provide a community of comfort and hope for families of critically ill or injured hospitalized children.

Come join us! Tab-a-PULL-ooza Saturday, May 18, 2019 8 AM - 1 PM 2nd Street Market 600 E 2nd St., Dayton, OH 45402
