Old Cell Phones? Collect them for a Cause: Check out securethecall.org/ and learn more about the 501 (c)3 that provides free 911 emergency only cell phones to the elderly at Senior Citizens Centers, Domestic Violence Centers, Police, and Sheriff’s departments. These cell phones are given back to the community and used for the elderly to contact the police in emergency situations.
