Most of us have cell phones hanging around that are not used any more. Donating your un-used cell phones will not only help the environment but they can be used by victim's of domestic violence who may need to call 911.
This is a nationwide effort to help both the environment by deposing
of the cell phones correctly and victims who may not be safe without them.
The drive will last until September. The Calhoun County Domestic Abuse Response Team, (DART) serviced 388 victims last year, many who
had or have no way to call 911 when needed. With your help and your old cell phones you may be able to save a life while helping save the
environment.
Drop Off Locations for the month of August are:
Calhoun County Court House, County Clerks Office
Family Resource Network (FRN) Office
Grantsville Food Land
Rev. Margaret Schmitz
Rite Aid
WVU Extension Service
The Domestic abuse Response Team Office
Hats off to the Calhoun County Sheriff & Tax
Office, for helping collect the most phones so far.
If you have any questions please call the DART
office at 354-9254.
If you are a victim of domestic violence we can
help.
