Call To Protect

The national CALL TO PROTECT program enables people to retire their wireless phones in a manner that will help the environment and raise funds for national organizations working to end partner violence. Funds generated through CALL TO PROTECT collections have provided grants totaling over $3.5 million to agencies leading the campaign against domestic violence.

 
CALL TO PROTECT®

CALL to PROTECT® is a national philanthropic program aimed at combating domestic violence. All donated phones are sent to our logistical partner, ReCellular, Inc., where they are either refurbished and sold, or recycled. One hundred percent of the net proceeds generated by the sale of the refurbished phones are used to make grants to national organizations working to end family violence. All phones donated that are obsolete or damaged are recycled according to strict environmental standards.
