Cell phone recycle campaign a success
PUTNAM — April 19, members of the Putnam Leo Club collected 87 phones and $30 as part of their “Cell Phone Recycle Campaign” for Hope Phones, working with Medic Mobile, to use “communication technologies to improve the health of under-served and disconnected communities.”
Collection boxes were available through April 24 and the Putnam Leo Club is proud to have collected 87 phones and $30 for the non-profit organization.
Leo Club president Mikayla Van Dam said, “All donations are going to Hope Phones...a non-profit organization, whose focus is to connect the less fortunate to medical care. The phones are refurbished, wiped clean of memory and distributed to those in need.”
