ReCellular Launches Phones for Haiti Program
ReCellular, the company that previously sponsored the Phones for Soldiers Program, announced on January 14, 2010 that it was launching a new program designed to help support Haitian recovery efforts. The donation process could not be any easier. Simply visit Phones for Haiti to download a printable mailing label. (Yes, the shipping is even paid for by ReCellular.) Then, dig through your closet, junk drawer, and kid’s toybox to recover the cell phones you replaced each time a newer, cooler gadget was released. Finally, throw them in a bag, slap on the label, and start helping those who really need it.
What will ReCellular do with it? Haitians don’t need cell phones, right now. Well, you’re right. Once they receive your phone, they’ll handle it like they normally would, with the exception that the 100% of the profits made from refurbishing and selling them will go to the American Red Cross.
So, if you made an SMS donation, donated some more online, and dropped off non-perishable items and medicine at a local donation collection center but still feel like you could do more, here is your chance. Visit the website today and pass on the opportunity to others via Twitter, Facebook, and email, so that other can get in on the giving, too. You won’t make any money or be any more popular, but you will be a step closer to achieving Geek Shui.
