Kans for Kids
Did you know that Khartum Shriners collects and recycles aluminum pop cans, pop tabs, and cancelled license plates? These items are collected and recycled, and the net proceeds are then donated to the Khartum Shrine Patient Transportation Fund.
In 2025, Khartum Shriners, through the Khartum Shrine Patient Transportation Fund, assisted with transportation, lodging, and meals for 187 Shrine patient visits at a cost of approximately $280,000 (including the value of donated flights). The Khartum Shrine Patient Transportation Fund assists Shrine patients in receiving non-emergency medical care for Orthopedic Conditions, Cleft Lip & Palate, Spinal Cord & Burn Injuries at any of our Shriners Hospitals for Children or Clinics throughout North America. Each child within Khartum Shriners' jurisdiction (from Manitoba, Northwest Ontario or Nunavut) is accompanied by a parent or guardian without regard to the family’s ability to pay or the number of trips required to successfully deliver the necessary treatment to provide the child with the best quality of life. The Khartum Shrine Patient Transportation Fund assists both the child and attendant with the associated travel, accommodation, and meal costs.
Khartum Shriners are looking for individuals, families, and businesses to collect aluminum cans. Khartum Shriners will provide a collection bin to businesses that want to get involved in this charitable project. Once you have a bag or bin full, call 204-925-1435. Please leave your name and address on our answering service. Khartum Shriners will schedule a pickup. We also have an aluminum can collection bin at Specialty Tire and Tube, 880 Century Street, Winnipeg, where you can drop off the cans.
In addition to this aluminum can drop-off, we invite individuals or businesses to either click the contact Khartum Plate/Can Collection Button or call the Kan Collection Line at 204-925-1435 to arrange pickup of cans or plates.
Please take the time to consider your 2026 contribution to support Khartum in its mission to provide this service, enabling children to receive life-changing care from Shriners Children’s.
