Cell Phones Drives

Since Valentine's Day 2001, Jane Doe Inc. has run a variety of cell phone drives, and the public has responded by donating over 20,000 phones. Some of these phones are refurbished and distributed to victims in crisis through local agencies in a partnership with Verizon Wireless and the Wireless Foundation. Others are responsibly recycled through companies such as Shelter Alliance, with the proceeds benefiting essential programs throughout the country such as Jane Doe Inc.

You can read more about the three options for donating your phone, on the Frequently Asked Question page. Whichever option you choose, we want to thank you in advance for your interest in supporting victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking as well as Jane Doe Inc.

December 2006/February 2007 Cell Phone Drive

Starting in December 2006 and running through February 2007, JDI will hold its annual drive. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000. We'll supply the flyers, mailing labels and instructions. Shelter Alliance will cover the shipping charges. Thousands of dollars can be raised through the donation and collection of used cell phones, at no cost to you.

To find out how you can set up a collection drive at your school, company, local library, police station or other setting, please read the FAQ section or contact us at donations@janedoe.org or 617.248.0922.
