✨Wishlist Wednesday is here! ✨

✨ WISH LIST WEDNESDAY ✨

This week (and for every week to follow) we are asking for your OLD, OUTDATED OR EVEN BROKEN TECHNOLOGY.

We're NOT kidding. Every piece we collect can be exchanged for cellphones for our clients through the 911 Cell Phone Bank program.

We are accepting:
- smart phones and flip phones
- tablets / iPads
- laptops
- smart watches
- portable gaming devices
- portable mp3, CD, and DVD players
- digital cameras
- memory cards and external hard drives
- chargers
- rechargeable batters
- headsets, headphones, earbuds

Every item donated can provide a cell phone for a client fleeing domestic violence or human trafficking.

For some, a phone can be a lifeline in their darkest hours.

Donation boxes can be found at our various centers:
Slane Center - 1401 Long Street, High Point
JT Office - 902 Bonner Drive, Jamestown
Families First Center - 315 E. Washington Street, Greensboro

We are open Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm.
