Donate Unused, Workable Cell Phones
A coalition of Law
Enforcement Agencies and Non-Profits across the United
States, recently came together to collect and
redistribute used cell phones to any community member
who needs a 911 phone in the event of an emergency.
Secure the Call Foundation, a non-profit organization,
leads this coalition.
Shelby
Senior Services, Inc. is a collection site for these
phones. Just bring them by the agency office, 1504 S.
Harrison St., and when several have been collected, the
agency will send the phones to Secure the Call
Foundation.
Once
received, the foundation members take the phones,
inspect them, cleans then, charges their batteries and
then reprograms them to be used as free 911 emergency
phones. According to T. Michael Morgan, executive
director of the foundation, any phone that can be turned
on can access 911 services even without a carrier
service plan. The phones are then distributed to
domestic violence shelters, senior centers, neighborhood
watch groups, school crossing guards and other agencies
with an immediate need for 911 access. This service is
available to individuals and organizations nationwide.
