SAVE MAGAZINES FOR RONALD McDONALD HOUSE!
Now you can support the Ronald
McDonald House of Hershey in a brand new way … and help our communities in the
recycling effort too. How? By saving magazines and catalogues, then dropping
them off at the Ronald McDonald House. Here’s
how …
What kind of paper is
needed?
Anything that is GLOSSY! That means magazines, catalogues, and annual
reports … just as long as the pages are slick and glossy.
What about newspapers and
telephone books?
No thanks. We cannot use them.
Where do I bring them?
Drop them into the green magazine containers at
these locations:
McDonald's Restaurant--905
Walnut Bottom Road in Carlisle
Darrenkamp's Market--191

PLEASE NOTE: Containers are
marked "magazines only" so that other non-glossy paper and trash are not
deposited. All glossy paper is acceptable.
If you bring your collection to the House, stop
by the reception desk at the House to say hello and get a written acknowledgement.
What do I use to store and transport magazines?
Please use boxes or heavy bags to transport
your magazines. Empty magazines into our large green magazine containers. Then take
your boxes and bags home for refills! Please do
not put plastic or paper bags, boxes, rubber bands or string into the magazine
containers.
What about aluminum tab tops?
Please keep ‘em coming! Just separate them
from the magazines. WE LOVE THOSE TABS!
What does the Ronald
McDonald House do with Magazines?
When the magazine containers are full, we call
Brandywine Recycling in Lebanon, PA to pick up the containers. They recycle the
glossy paper and send a check to the Ronald McDonald House! Over $74,000
has been raised through this program since 2004 through the recycling of over 2,856
tons of glossy paper. Over $30,000 in 2008!
What
about Group Projects?
Schools, scouts, clubs, houses of worship,
civic groups, and businesses are encouraged to spread the word. Members who serve as a mini collection site can
bring larger amounts and help save gas!
How are the proceeds
used?
All funds are used to support the operations of
the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey. We offer a temporary home to out-of-town families
who have seriously ill children being treated at the Penn State Children’s Hospital. Up to 21 families each night stay at the Ronald
McDonald House free of charge, because of the
generosity of our wonderful donors.
