I’d heard about this program a couple of years ago when it started; they’re making news again today and I wanted to shout ‘em out for doing good.
If you have an unused, old, otherwise catching-dust cell phone, donate it to Cell Phones for Soldiers. This charity, started by two siblings, Brittany and Robbie Bergquist when they were just thirteen and eleven, takes your old, piece-of-junk cell phone and sells it to a recycler for $5.00. Then they take that $5.00 (multiply that by 50,000 phones a month) and buy pre-paid long distance calling cards for our soldiers serving abroad. Over the past three years, they’ve handed out over 400,000 long distance phone cards, averaging around 25,000 one-hour phone cards sent overseas a month.
Wow…these kids are amazing! Good job, Mama and Papa Bergquist!
Click here to see where you can send all those aged and ugly cell phones that roam the bottom of your toy boxes. Alrighty…go get yourself a-mailing already!
