We have known them from the beginning of their reach. We have donated each of our phones to the cause, knowing everything they do is to help the soldier/sailor/marine and airman! We admire their dedication having continued this effort for more than 14 years.

That has been their sole motive from the beginning, and they have remained true to it over the years.

Cell Phones for Soldiers still maintains an incredibly low overhead cost, which allows a majority of an individual's donation to go toward the cause they intend to help.

From the moment the donation is received all the way until the benefits of the charity are given to our armed forces overseas, every phone is tracked maliciously to ensure data security.
