30 Days of Giving, Day 9: Cell Phones for Soldiers

Do you have any old cell phones? Donate them so soldiers can call home.

his is part of a 30-day series of ways Patch community members can give back this holiday season. We hope you'll take part in this 30 Days of Giving and take the spirit beyond the holidays, because there truly is need all year long.

Donate a cell phone for the troops

Channel 955’s Mojo In The Morning is partnering with Metro Detroit Chevrolet dealers to offer Phone Scams Vol. 15 album for free with a donation of an old cell phone.

The newest Phone Scams Vol. 15 album includes a variety of prank calls made by Mojo in the Morning and is available for purchase on iTunes.

Old cell phones can be donated at any participating Metro Detroit Chevy dealers and in return, donors will receive a card allowing them to download the Phone Scams album for free.

The donated cell phones will then be recycled, and the money earned will pay for pre-paid calling cards for the troops serving overseas, allowing them to stay in contact with their families. The goal is to recycle enough old cell phones to purchase 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards.
