HELP MAKE CONNECTIONS POSSIBLE
USED CELL PHONE CAMPAIGN
ANNAPOLIS VALLEY July 2, 2021 – Red Bear Healing Home Society is requesting public assistance for donations of gently used cell phones. The goal of the campaign is to empower and enable people who are phoneless and ensure access to public services.
Living without a cellular device or phone can cause a detrimental effect on an persons’ mental and physical health and make connections impossible for people who are phoneless. This campaign will take place throughout the summer of 2021, with all donated cell phones being given to people who are experiencing poverty. A phone is required when applying for employment, renting an apartment or accessing urgent medical and/or mental health care. With the ability to contact support, or be contacted, the cyclical nature of poverty is reduced.
Cellular devices enable people to reach out when they are in need and can be a lifeline for those experiencing poverty. Our campaign strives to make these kinds of connections possible. We kindly ask that gently used cell phones that have been unlocked and reset, be dropped off at Annapolis Valley libraries in Kingston and Middleton.
This campaign is made possible by Annapolis Regional Libraries and a grant from the Kingston-Greenwood Community Health Board.
