In tough times, it can be easier to donate goods instead of money. Cell Phones for Soldiers makes that possible by enabling the donation of old, unused devices to help the planet and improve active-duty service members' and veterans' lives. Donors can have peace of mind knowing that their device was safely and securely refurbished with the highest environmental and industry standards.

In an age when connectivity is more essential than ever, it's disheartening to know that many veterans lack phones and the necessary connectivity to succeed in today's digital world.
