Senior Kasia Baldock and her community service group in the Leadership Southern Leavenworth County program, a partnership facilitated by THS, are doing a cell phone drive for the Alliance Against Family Violence. AAFV is a sexual and domestic violence victim advocacy organization that serves all of Leavenworth County, the communities therein, and the surrounding area and is dedicated to facilitating and empowering positive change in the lives of those affected by domestic and sexual violence and to providing safety and security for members of the communities it serves.
The goal of this fundraiser is to help offset costs the AAFV accrues when purchasing supplies and providing services for the families they assist. The fundraiser involves collecting old cell phones and tablets and sending them to a zero-landfill recycling company. All devices will have their data erased prior to destroying or refurbishing them. A check will then be issued to the AAFV based on the age, condition, etc. of the devices. ALL proceeds go to the AAFV; nothing is kept back to offset any costs for the fundraiser.
If you or someone you know has an old device or two cluttering up a drawer somewhere, this is a great way to dispose of them without sending them to a landfill. Devices can be dropped off at THS, TMS, or TES.
