With October just around the corner, we are going
purple in support of
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
HopeLine is an awared winning
phone recycling program through
Verizon to help victims and survivors
of domestic violence. Phones, chargers and batteries from
any carrier and in any condition,
are refurbished or recycled and then donated to non-profit
organizations and agencies that support victims and
survivors of domestic violence. Often times, survivors and
victims are left without phones when they leave their abusers;
by donating a phone they are provided a new lifeline
to contact friends, family, employers and shelter
support staff so they can rebuild their lives.
Get involved!
Donate your device:
Survivors can rarely access their old mobile
device once they have left an abuser. When you donate your
old device, it's refurbished into a valuable source of
support for domestic violence awareness and prevention.
To make a donation:
1. Erase any data from the phone and disconnect the phone’s
service with your wireless provider.
2. Remove any storage cards and SIM cards from the phone.
We thoroughly refurbish donated phones.
3. Place your wireless phone from any service provider along with the battery,
charger and any accessories you wish to donate in a plastic bag.
4. Find a Verizon Wireless retail store near you to drop your wireless
phone and accessories in a HopeLine bin.
5. Don’t have time to go to a store? Pack your wireless phone,
battery, charger and accessories in a secure package. Print out our
pre-paid mailing label and just drop in the mail.
