Service project
Students enrolled in Alvernia University SEARCH Seminar classes with Professor Kayla Landers participated in a service-learning project focused on collecting soda can tabs to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities, or RMHC. Among the participants were Fahad Ali H. Alharbi, Reading; Madalyn Cocco, Mohnton; Sarina Neiswender, Sinking Spring; and Danielle Reich, Reinholds.
RMHC collects aluminum pull tabs from cans (soda, pet food, etc.) to recycle, generating funds for its houses that provide lodging, medical care and other support for families with seriously ill children.
Students were responsible for collecting soda tabs, encouraging friends and family to contribute and promoting the initiative to others on campus.
Items are submitted by the colleges involved.
