First Congregational Church of Millbury will be collecting aluminum can pull tabs. These are the small metal rings on beverage cans, or the are sometimes on other canned goods like soup or vegetables, etc. If you remove the ring from the top of a beverage can you can still return the can to redeem you bottle deposit.
Shriners collect the can tabs for Shriners Hospitals for Children. The tabs are sent to a recycling center and the money earned is used to help children and their families with transportation to hospitals and appointments. The tabs can generate anywhere from $7.00 – $10.00 per pound, so every little bit helps.
There will be marked receptacles in the sanctuary, and by the lower entrance. Please save your can tabs and drop them into these containers so we can help the Shriners in their efforts to help children in their hospitals.
