Donating Your Old Wireless Phone To HopeLine Gives The Gift Of Hope To Mothers You’ve Never Met
BASKING RIDGE, NJ — You can give two women a special gift this Mother’s Day with one simple act. When you head out to purchase the perfect gift for Mom, such as a new mobile phone, bring your old phone with you and drop it in a HopeLine® collection bin located in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores nationwide. Proceeds generated from the phones collected by HopeLine are used to provide wireless phones to survivors of domestic violence or cash grants to local shelters and non-profit organizations that focus on domestic violence prevention and awareness.
Domestic Violence Affects Women and Children
One out of three American women report being abused at some point in their lifetime, and more than 10 million U.S. children witness domestic violence each year. Phones donated to the Verizon Wireless HopeLine program can help victims of abuse feel safer and less isolated by giving them a way to call emergency or support services, employers, family and friends.
