Verizon Aims to Help Victims of Domestic Violence

Verizon is embracing the holiday spirit by implementing the HopeLine Program. It will be collecting wireless phones, batteries, and other accessories that are no longer being used by the public. However, not just Verizon phones can be dropped off at any participating store or sent by mail.

The cash proceeds from the HopeLine Program will then be used to provide airtime and phones to victims of domestic violence, as well as cash grants to nonprofit organizations and shelters that provide victims of domestic violence help when they need it.

Verizon launched this program in October 2001 and has collected over 7 million phones since then and given out 90,000 phones with free minutes to DV victims. They have also given out $7.9 million in cash grants to eligible nonprofits and shelters.

You can pick up a HopeLine postage-paid mailing label at any Verizon store to mail their phone in from home.
