The Red Cross is collecting used cell phones at Blood Drives throughout Vermont and between Veterans Day and New Years Day.

Several boxes have also already been set up to collect phones at the Saint Johnsbury Fire House, Lyndon State College and Kerrigan’s Market in West Burke. The Proceeds will go towards calling cards for soldiers who will not make it home for the Holidays to be able to call their families. For more information you can go to www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com
