The Women of United are joining with the Women of the ELCA and the Good                                                                                       Deed Foundation in a project to recycle 250,000 cell phones by May of 2009.

                                      In the United Sates alone, more than HALF A BILLION cell phones are no longer                                                        being used and are ready for recycling. Another 11 MILLION phones are added to                                                        that total each month!

                                     We are thrilled to announce that Women of the ELCA has teamed up with the                                                                     Women’s Funding Network and the Good Deed Foundation to recycle 250,000                                                      cell phones by May 1, 2009! Money raised through the recycling campaign will be used to:

                                     1. Support programs that lift women and families out of poverty;

                                     2. Help provide lasting solutions to climate change, a major contributor to poverty worldwide; and

                                     3. Provide 911 emergency phones for senior citizens and people at risk.

                                     Just bring your phone to the Cell Phone Recycling Box in the narthex. And don’t forget to ask                                         your grandchildren for their old phones.
