Each contribution provides military members with precious talk time through our Minutes That Matter program, and it gives one-time emergency financial assistance to returning veterans through our Helping Heroes Home program.

DESCRIPTION

  1. Erase the data from your device. If your cell phone has a SIM card, please remove it prior to donating. You also can search the internet for “factory reset” for the specific make and model of your phone to receive instructions on wiping away all personal information.  If you cannot factory reset your device do not worry. Our recycling partner is R2:2013 (Responsible Recycling) and NAID AAA certified (National Association for Information Destruction) and follows the Department of Defense standards for wiping hard drives and devices.
