Wireless phones and technologies offer a lifeline for domestic violence victims in an emergency.

hopeline_logoThat is why NNEDV has partnered with Verizon Wireless' HopeLine program.  The HopeLine program collects no-longer-used wireless phones and equipment in any condition from any service provider.  The used phones are either refurbished or recycled.  With the funds raised from the sale of the refurbished phones, Verizon Wireless donates wireless phones and airtime to victims, and provides funding and other contributions to non-profit domestic violence shelters and prevention programs across the country.


NNEDV also works with the Wireless Foundation's CALL to PROTECT program.
