Cell Phones for Soldiers

Upgraded your phone recently....for Christmas perhaps? If you have an old cell phone hanging around how about donating it to a good cause?!? You can drop your phones off at assigned locations and the proceeds from the recycled phones will go towards providing phone cards to military members (from all branches of service) to call home!! Each phone generates enough money for one soldier to talk to his or her family for an entire hour while abroad! You can look up a drop off location near you on their website; www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com

Hi Karen,

I just upgraded myself and I was putting an old phone into the plastic envelop for recyling when I saw you post.

This small gesture means so much to so many - there is down side!

Help lots of people and have a great day!!!

Karin, I feel anyway we can make life easier for our men and women in uniform, I'll be there, however I use every last ounce of usefulness out of my phone before I get a new. I will let my clients know...
