Do It For The Boys (And Girls Too!)

Have y'all heard of this awesomely neat non-profit organization called Cell Phones For Soldiers? You can send them your old cell phones, no postage necessary if you use one of their special mailing baggies. This gets your old phones (and those highly toxic batteries) out of your house. But the best part is that they turn around and exchange the donated phones for $. They turn the $ from one phone into a phone card worth about an hour of phone time for a soldier abroad. All from a piece of plastic junk collecting dust in your house right now.

Please go here today and have some of the of the postage-free plastic mailing envelopes sent to you. Perhaps you might even bring a few extra into your office or church or local book club so that everyone can both get rid of old junk and help give our soldiers some much needed phone time with family at home. I think it's so awesome that even those who are not in a position to donate money (they will of course take it though if you have it to donate), are still able to help. Between me and my father, we have four phones to mail in.

And while you are on the Cell Phones For Soldiers website, take a moment to read about the two kids....that's right....I said KIDS who started the organization. I can barely manage to plan a week's worth of meals and these two children started an impressive non-profit organization!!
