Wireless phones and technologies offer a lifeline for domestic violence victims in an emergency.
Donated phones are recycled, with proceeds going to help fund agencies that fight domestic violence. Other phones are refurbished and become lifelines for domestic violence victims when faced with an emergency situation. Since 1999, campaigns organized by the wireless industry, such as the CALL TO PROTECT and HopeLine programs, have collected more than 4 million retired phones, delivered more than 60,000 wireless lifelines to survivors of domestic violence, and made cash grants to domestic violence organizations exceeding $10 million.

**PLEASE DEACTIVATE YOUR PHONE AND ERASE PERSONAL DATA PRIOR TO DONATING** Cell phone donations may be tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor to determine the value of your donation. You may print a Tax Receipt to reflect the value of the phone you have donated.
