Beiser collecting cell phones for soldiers

From Illinois Business Journal news services

ALTON – State Rep. Dan Beiser, D-Alton, is hosting a Cell Phones for Soldiers drive that continues through Wednesday, Dec. 30.

“Many people have old smart phones or tablets that they no longer use,” said Beiser. “Cell Phones for Soldiers takes the recycled electronics and puts them to use by giving our servicemen and women overseas free talking time with their loved ones, and provides aid to veteran families in need through emergency funding.”

Residents can drop off their donations of old smart phones or tablets to Beiser’s constituent services office at 528 Henry St. The office is open from 9 a.m. through 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

For more information, contact the office at (618) 465-5900.
