Community Giving
 
WHSP Employees Help Soldiers Call Home

Thanks for your recent participation in our Cell phones for soldiers drive.  Cell phones for soldiers, a non profit organization, collects cell phones and accessories and uses the money from their recycling, as well as donations, to give calling cards to soldiers. For more than 369,000 troops serving overseas, making a call home is costly and a rarity for many military professionals.
 
Each cell phone collected generates two calling cards with 100 minutes each (200 minutes per phone).  In total, with donations collected between WHSP and OHAP, we were able to support the purchase of 512 calling cards with a total of 51,200 minutes. 
 
Recycling cell phones is also a positive for the environment.  It reduces greenhouse gas emissions, keeps valuable material out of landfills and incinerators, and conserves natural resources.
 
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, electronic waste (e-waste) is accumulating almost three times faster than ordinary household trash.
 
If you still have a cell phone you would like donate or would like to make a donation, visit http://www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com/index.php
 
Thank you again for all of your support.

If you or someone you know here at Walton Hills is doing something great in their community, we want to know about it! Send us an email or drop us a note in one of the WHSP Drop Boxes.
