The Furry Friends Foundation is collecting any old cell phones. If you have any old phones (even old bag phones) you'd like to donate, you can donate the phone at www.wirelessfundraiser.com - selecting Furry Friends Foundation in Chicago as your charity of choice. They will send you a pre-paid shipping box. If the phone is not one they will pay Furry Friends for, it will be donated to another charity. For example, these phones are given to homeless shelters for battered women so they may dial 911. Either way you are doing a good deed!!

Our local Council on Ageing takes the phones for Seniors. All cell phones will work for dialing 911 without subscribing to a service is my understanding. Check with your local senior citizens group.

Hi, I have an inhome childcare, and the childen I keep all love cell phones. After all, what do they see mommy and daddy using all day long? If you don'know of any home childcares in your area, try a center.

Hi, Take the phone to Verizon wireless store or send to:

Verizon Wireless HopeLine
c/o ReCellular Inc.
2555 Bishop Circle W.
Dexter MI 48130

The phones are donated/refurbished and then given to national domestic violence advocacy organizations or local government and law enforcement agencies.

You can take them to Office Depot, not sure where they go then.

Contact your local domestic violence shelter. Most take donations of cell phones, for use by their clients. Even with no service contract, the phones can be used to call 911 in an emergency.
