Old Cell Phones Can Help Others

Donate your old wireless phone. It could save a life. The Donate-A-Phone project is a national phone collection drive designed to provide domestic violence victims with a powerful toola wireless phone. The program is a partnership between the Wireless Foundation, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Motorola who have worked together since 1996 to provide free phones to victims of domestic violence through the CALL to PROTECT program. Bring your old phones to CAMP Rehoboth, 37 Baltimore Ave., and we’ll handle the shipping.
