Here at Safe Passage, we assist survivors of domestic violence in gaining back control of their lives and increasing their safety. Some survivors do not have access to a phone or a phone that is not in the control of their abuser. The phones we get for the survivors help with safety and rebuilding their lives. They have direct contact with prospective landlords and employers. Most importantly they have a means to increase their safety, with a phone without harassment and treats from their abusers. Before working with 911 CELL Phone Bank, we had very little resources to provide these phones to survivors. This program has increased the safety of several survivors and may even have saved lives. Thank you, 911 Cell Phone Bank.
The 911 Cell Phone Bank works with Businesses / Organizations around the country to properly recycle electronics, clearing data completely, and then utilizing the devices in the fight against Human Trafficking and Domestic Abuse. It is a perfect act of sustainability while assisting advocacy programs and law enforcement agencies around the nation. They have helped over 250,000 victims / survivors of Human Trafficking and Domestic Abuse in over two decades of service and have done so without monetary donations! What an accomplishment.
Laura from 911 Cell Phone Bank is our assigned representative. She has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is always friendly and helpful. If I reach out to let her know we are low or out of phones, she gets a package in the mail to us ASAP. We serve victims of crime and the phones provided by 911 Cell Phone Bank have been a crucial tool in helping victims gain stability and independence. Thank you!!
Always friendly, by phone or email. They do great work!--Take old cell phones out of the waste stream and properly recycle those not still usable. Those that ARE usable, and modern enough to have a GPS locator, are distributed through local orgs (in our case Waldo County, Maine TRIAD...) to provide police and sheriffs' departments with phones that can call 911, available for those who need them, for any of a variety of situations: those who must walk alone in dark for employment, young people out after sports/extracurricular activities, elders in need of emergency connectivity, an domestic violence situations.
All round an Win-Win-Win situation! I am proud to work with 911 Cell Phone Bank.
Oustanding what this organization does to provide a lifeline to victims of human trafficking and domestic violence. And all it takes is your donations of unused cell phones or other unclaimed electronics from lost-and-found and property-and-evidence rooms. These items are securely data erased and donated to law enforcement/victim agencies to distribute to victims to contact emergency services when the need arises.
For over 20 years, the 911 Cell Phone bank has provided resources that serve as a lifeline for victims and vulnerable elderly adults in our community. Throughout the years, the emergency cell phones provided to our agency have saved the life of a domestic violence victim, allowed a 79-year-old woman with only a landline to leave her home know in that the cell phone was in her pocket, and provided a phone to a victim when her phone was impounded as evidence. She was able to stay in touch with her detective and access other resources when she was unable to replace her phone. The stories of the impact this non-profit makes just go one and on. The relationship with everyone at the 911 Cell Bank is what make this program even more valuable. The truly understand the needs of victims of crime and help to fill in the gaps by supporting the immediate needs of victims. Working with this organization is a true partnership that has a profound impact nationwide. It is also wonderful to know that when phones and electronics are donated, the data is completely removed, and each donated item has the potential to save a life!
This nonprofit makes a GINORMOUS difference for our clients who are survivors of sexual violence. Our clients often experience the barrier of communication when trying to access services or get to a safe place. How are you supposed to seek support when you cannot reach those who are available to help? The phone bank has provided our clients with phones that allow them to call those they feel safest with and to seek support in times of crisis to build sustainable stability.
We receive 911 phones from our friends at the 911 Cell Phone Bank. These phones are provided to victims of crime, people experiencing homelessness, the elderly, etc. We appreciate all they do!
Tubman was the very first recipient of emergency phones from 911 Cell Phone Bank nearly 15 years ago. These 911 phones have been a lifeline for many, many victims of domestic violence we have served over the years. With the addition of an allotment of prepaid minutes, our clients have experienced an additional sense of safety and security, knowing their abuser cannot track their bids for support in leaving their abusive relationship. We are so very appreciative of the 911 Cell Phone Bank and the support they provide to our clients who are seeking safety, hope, and healing.

UTC Police Department entered a partnership with 911 Cell Phone Bank. This has provided a safe and secure way to recycle electronics like, cell phones and tablets. We have received tremendous support from 911 Cell Phone Bank with them providing free cell phones to victims of domestic violence and sexual assaults. These victims many times have no safe and secure form of communications with support groups, law enforcement and the court system. This invaluable service has been a great asset to law enforcement and the victim advocacy groups who support these crime victims. Without this partnership, many of these victims could not get the support and help they need.
