Donate your old cell phones

[wyshbringer]

I just found this web site and I thought everyone here might want to check it out. WWW.donateaphone.com


They take these phones to battered women shelters so the women can call 911. It is tax deductable and help women who are abused.

I told my hubby about this and he told his manager. His company is going to organize a day for customers to drop off there cell phones. They LOVED the idea I had!!!!:D

Thanks!

That is a terriffic idea. I know my friend could use it right now, she is in a shelter. Unfortunately, i have no way of knowing if her shelter provides this...I'll check around and see if anyone I know has old cell phones they'd like to donate though.

There is a similar campaign here in Germany where cell phones are distributed to elderly persons or ppl suffering from MS etc so that they can call a doc when there is an emergency.
