More Than 900 Phones Collected For Military Troops

Western New York residents have overwhelmingly shown their support for U.S. troops overseas through the month long cell phone collection drive. More than 900 cell phones have been donated by community members. Proceeds from the recycled devices are being used to buy long distance calling cards for troops abroad and veterans at home, so they can call their loved ones this holiday season. The joint effort is providing military troops and veterans with approximately 40,000 minutes of free calls with loved ones back home. Partners of the initiative included Cell Phones For Soldiers, AT&T and Niagara County Veterans Service Agency.
