Special Collection: Cell Phones for Soldiers
Cell Phones for Soldiers Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing cost-free
communication services to active duty military members and veterans. The organization was founded
in 2004 by Robbie and Brittany Bergquist, then 12 and 13 years old, with only $21. CPFS relies on
generous donors for cash contributions and funds raised by the recycling of used cell phones. Donating
gently-used mobile phones is simple and FREE! Donated cell phones are sold to a recycling partner,
Mindful eCycling. The money received from recycled cell phones is used to purchase calling cards
and other communication tools for active-duty military members and to assist veterans as they
transition into post-combat life.
This October, the City of Rialto Waste Management Division will
be collecting gently used cell phones which will be donated to Cell
Phones for Soldiers just in time for Veterans Day. Bring your used cell
phones and donate them to this wonderful cause.
