Charitable Efforts: Pop Tops Collection for Ronald McDonald House
The HOSA chapter at ACE Center at Hermitage is supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) by collecting pop tops from soda cans. RMHC provides a "home-away-from-home" for families with children receiving medical care at local hospitals. The pop tops collection program helps raise funds to support these families, providing temporary housing and essential services during their child's treatment.
How to Contribute
The collection efforts began in January and have become a continuing part of the HOSA chapter's charitable works. If you would like to contribute to their collection, please bring clean and dry pop tops, bagged and addressed to the PT/OT class, to the front of the ACE Main building. Your support will make a significant difference in the lives of families in need.
We are proud of our students' dedication to both their education and their community service. Their efforts reflect the values of the ACE Center at Hermitage and the mission of HCPS Career and Technical Education to prepare students for successful futures in their chosen fields.
Thank you for your support and contributions to this meaningful cause!
