This week we heard from Founder and Director of Cellphones for Soldiers, Mr. Rob Bergquist who told us about their nation-wide non-profit that provides phones and connectivity solutions for more than 17,000 veterans currently benefiting from this program.
In 2014, at the ages of 12 and 13, while getting ready for middle school, Bergquist his sister heard a story that sparked immediate action and resulted in their non-profit organization that has grown exponentially.
Listen to our interview here and be sure to visit their site to learn how you can volunteer to support this program, and why responsibly recycling your old devices could benefit a veteran or service-member in need.
We are working to obtain a donation drop-off location for your convenience in recycling unused devices that we will send to the organization in support of their mission. Stay tuned and let us know if your business or organization gets another drop-off location established in your community, we would love to help spread the word.
Thank you for listening and thank you for supporting your local public media and KCCU Public Radio!
