My name is Emily Wheatley.  I’m working with Cell Phones for Soldiers.  Please place your old cell phones in the drop box located at the Welcome Desk at Ridge HS.  The phones don’t even have to work. Cell Phones for Soldiers will send the phones to Recellular, which pays for each donated phone - enough to provide an hour of talk time to our soldiers abroad. Please help me reach my goal of 500 phones!

Current total = 185 cell phones
