Hope Line Project at Politics in the Park

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This is a huge social issue that affects one in four women. The HopeLine Project, sponsored by Verizon Wireless, is a wireless phone collection. They are taking used, broken, and old cellphones from any manufacturer and turning them into literal lifelines for victims of domestic violence. We will have a collection box at the EMERGE table at Politics in the Park, so please bring your used, old, and broken cell phones and drop them in the box. Feel free to also collect phones from your workplace, friends, and family! The phones will all be donated in Polk County to the Peace River Center, Polk's domestic violence agency.
