The big rule is that we only collect bottle tops with a #2 or #5 resin, which is the little recycling number on the bottle top. As a rule of thumb, we always tell Sweethearts that "if you can drink the product, you can keep the lid." This excludes household detergents, peanut butter, and mayonnaise lids, among others. Absolutely no metal tops, lids, or caps at all.

To find your closest collection point, please zoom into your area on this map: http://sweetheartsfoundation.org/your-help/#findcollectionpoints Our collection points are run by wonderful Sweethearts volunteers. We would recommend you contact your closest collection point ahead of time to confirm the exact address and a suitable time and date of delivery. If you don't have a collection point nearby (or even if you do have a collection point nearby), you can become an Official Collection Point for The Sweethearts Foundation. By doing so, you'll be helping us collect and recycle precious #TopsandTags that can make a big difference in the lives of others. It's easy to sign up - just follow the link below, fill in the form, and let us know where you're located.

The goal is to help those in need by collecting bottle tops and bread tags to purchase wheelchairs. The intention is to deliver these wheelchairs to the most disadvantaged areas and make the handovers special by providing food and celebration for the families. The aim is to address a significant need and make a meaningful impact, and any donations to support these efforts would be greatly appreciated.

🦋💙Meet Nolundi Nkone, a resilient soul from Mqanduli, Eastern Cape, who has faced the challenges of muscular dystrophy since she was a tiny baby at just 4 months old. Her journey has been marked by uncertainty, with visits to different hospitals offering no answers or solutions for many years. It wasn't until later in life, with the savings of her devoted parents, that Nolundi was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy—a group of diseases causing progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.

As Nolundi's journey unfolded, her reliance on a wheelchair became a necessity. Tragically, her primary caregiver, who provided unwavering support by pushing her to where she needed to be, assisting with errands, and ensuring daily needs were met, passed away last year.

Now, with her current wheelchair falling and due to the progressive nature of the disease, Nolundi urgently requires an electronic wheelchair to navigate her day-to-day life. Due to her size and the effects of muscular dystrophy, she needs a 22” bariatric powerchair, with a total cost of R44,199.56. While we've made strides with R16,364.05 raised, a shortfall of R27,835.51 remains.

Nolundi's story is one of resilience, but she urgently needs our help for a chance at a more independent and fulfilling life. Your donations, regardless of size, will be the key to providing her with the mobility and freedom she deserves.

🌍 Together, with your #topsandtags recycling contributions, we can be the driving force behind this life-changing gift! Join us in this heartfelt campaign to give Nolundi the wings to soar. Every donation makes a significant impact.


Help The Sweethearts Foundation raise R27,836 for Nolundi Specialized Wheelchair
