This Mothers Day, most of you may be considering to buy your mom a new mobile phone. And should that happen, you are thinking of what to do with the old one that is sure to be stocked out somewhere. Well, just in case you don’t have use for it, why not do a good deed like dropping it in a HopeLine collection bin located in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores nationwide.

Proceeds generated from the phones collected by HopeLine are used to provide wireless phones to survivors of domestic violence or cash grants to local shelters and non-profit organizations that focus on domestic violence prevention and awareness.

One out of three American women report being abused at some point in their lifetime, and more than 10 million U.S. children witness domestic violence each year. Phones donated to the Verizon Wireless HopeLine program can help victims of abuse feel safer and less isolated by giving them a way to call emergency or support services, employers, family and friends.

If you plan to buy Mom’s gifts online this year, you can still donate your phone to HopeLine. When surfing, print a postage-paid label from the Verizon Wireless Web site at www.verizonwireless.com/hopelinemailinglabel, adhere it to the package that contains your old wireless phones and mail it to HopeLine.
