Cell Phones Needed to Prevent Domestic Violence
The "Call to Protect" is a domestic violence prevention project to provide those persons at risk & in danger, with instant access to help in the form of a wireless phone.  The wireless phones are preprogrammed so that the victim can reach help with the push of a button. 

The Notre Dame Club of Ann Arbor is assisting with this program by collecting old cell phones, so they can be refurbished and distributed to victims of domestic violence.  The Club has collected over 6,500 phones in the last 3 years, as of 09/29/2004.  That's about 2000 a year.  And, the Club will continue its efforts. 

From December 1, 2004, - January 16, 2005, 145 cell phones and their components were collected by the St. Francis 8th. grade confirmation class for the "Call to Protect" program.

(During particular seasons: St. Francis Parish will have a collection box at the main entrance to the church, along with a form that you can retain for tax purposes.) 

Thank you for your effort. 
All phones are delivered to Recellular Inc. in Dexter.  More information at: www.donateaphone.com
