Verizon HopeLine: Going Purple

With October just around the corner, we are going

 purple in support of 

Domestic Violence Awareness Month 

with Verizon Wireless and HopeLine.

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.

Host a Phone Drive:

1. Select the dates and location for your drive. 

Be sure to plan for the length of your collection when you do so.
2. Get free HopeLine materials to promote and host your drive.

 Mail your request with the dates you've planned and we'll send you the materials.
3. Place the collection boxes in visible but secure locations. 

Move collections to a storage area as needed.
4. Pack your collected phones, batteries and accessories securely

 for shipment. Request mailing labels for special collections

 and ship your phones using the label provided.
