Donate Your Phone

Wireless phones and technologies offer a lifeline for domestic violence victims in an emergency.

That's why NNEDV has partnered with the Wireless Foundation's CALL TO PROTECT ShelterHelp program and Verizon Wireless' HopeLine, which collect wireless phones to benefits victims of domestic violence.

Donated phones are recycled, with proceeds going to help fund agencies that fight domestic violence. Other phones are refurbished and become lifelines for domestic violence victims when faced with an emergency situation.
