Cell Phones for Soldiers


Tonight we once again bring you another fantastic example of individuals helping others.


The Cell Phones for Soldiers program was started in April 2004 by 13-year-old Brittany Bergquist and her 12-year-old brother Robbie of Norwell, Massachusetts.

Robbie and Brittany's goal is to help our soldiers serving overseas call home. They hope to provide as many soldiers as possible with prepaid calling cards. Through generous donations and the recycling of used cell phones, Robbie and Brittany have already distributed thousands of calling cards to soldiers around the globe.


Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to turn old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas in 2008. To do so, Cell Phones for Soldiers expects to collect 15,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country.

Visit http://www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com/ for information on how you can donate your cell phones to our soldiers.

Thanks Brittany and Robbie that everyone can make a difference!

Thank you to everyone who has offered words of encouragement and joined our blog. Let's keep the momentum going by asking your friends and blog members to join one of our communities.
