CELL PHONE PROJECT

Do you have old cell phones lying around? Here's how you can make a difference in your community.

PWCL recycles cell phones and distributes them to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Survivors are able to use these cell phones to call 911, allowing immediate help at the touch of a button.

PWCL also recycles cell phones through Shelter Alliance -- a program of cell phone recycling company GRC Wireless Recycling (www.grcrecycling.com) -- and uses the proceeds to fund the Danger to Safety Transportation Program. Through Shelter Alliance, nonprofit organizations raise funds through the collection & recycling of used cell phones, and businesses & consumers donate & recycle cell phones to benefit nonprofit participants.
