Every spring, Ronald McDonald House Southwest Virginia hosts Tab Top Week, a weeklong community collection event celebrating the impact of our Tab Top Program. Schools, businesses, community groups, and individuals collect aluminum tabs throughout the year and drop them off during the designated week as part of a friendly recycling competition. Together, these small tabs make a big difference by helping support families staying at the House while their children receive medical care. Tab Top Week is a fun and meaningful way for our community to come together, give back, and show that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a lasting impact.
