How You Can Help

Your discarded cell phone can save a life. From now until November 10, 2002 bring your old cell phones to any of The Body Shop's 300 locations nationwide. The phones will be refurbished and sold with proceeds benefiting the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and The Wireless Foundation. In addition, 3,000 refurbished cell phones will be programmed to dial emergency numbers and donated to local shelters that have teamed with The Body Shop. The phones will then be distributed to victims of family violence.
