The “Cell Phones For Soldiers” program at South Providence School will collect cell phones from Veteran’s Day November 11, 2009 through December 11, 2009.

Students, staff, parents and the community will participate in the program.

Most of us have old cell phones that we no longer use. Please make an effort to drop off your old cell phone at South Providence this month.

More than 150,000 troops are serving overseas and are away from their families. Cell Phones for Soldiers, and South Providence School are calling on all Americans to support for these brave men and women by donating your unused cell phones. Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to collect over 50,000 cell phones this year to help keep troops connected with their families.

The donated phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad.

About Cell Phones for Soldiers:
Cell Phones for Soldiers was created by Brittany & Robbie Bergquist of Norwell MA. After reading a story about a soldier who ran up a huge phone bill calling home from Iraq, these two teenagers decided to help out. They started by opening an account with $21.00 of their own money. They are collecting cash donations and old cell phones.

The cell phones are recycled for cash and the proceeds are used to buy prepaid calling cards for our soldiers serving in the Middle East. Cell Phones For Soldiers is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Their efforts have motivated people and businesses around the country to donate to this worthy cause. Their goal is to provide every US soldier with a way to call home for free. For more information, please visit CellPhonesForSoldiers.com.

For more information please call Greg Kearney at South Providence School. 704-290-1580.
