Cell Phones for Soldiers is a great organization that works towards buying phone cards for the troops abroad. This came as a result of one soldier who had to pay a $7,000 phone bill for the phone calls he made home to his family. This is not a financial burden that they should endure especially since they are out there defending our country! Here's how you can help and get involved. Ask your family and friends if they have old/used cell phones lying around the house. Collect them and package it up in a box and go to this website http://www.cellphonesforsoldie rs.com/. At this website you will find free postage for your mailing. The cell phones will then be recycled for cash and the money that they make will be used towards the purchase of more phone cards. I am going to be setting up a booth outside of a local bookstore where holiday shoppers can see and become aware of this program and donate their phones. You can do the same! After all the money is collected and phone cards are purchased, families of soldiers abroad can go online and request a phone card to make phone calls to their loved ones. Act now as the holidays are right around the corner and it would be very fulfilling to know that you connected a family through a phone call for the holidays.
