Phones For Food

While looking for a place to donate my old cell phone, I came across the thINK FOOD Phones-for-Food project. Very interesting indeed!

www.think-food.com

The mission of the thINK FOOD project is to alleviate hunger and divert waste from landfill sites by raising funds for local food banks through the process of recycling used printer cartridges and cell phones. thINK FOOD began in 2001 as a cartridge-recycling fundraiser for Toronto’s Daily Bread Food Bank. With corporate sponsorship, the project was soon expanded across the province and the nation. Today this award-winning project has thousands of businesses, schools and government offices established as collection sites in support of hundreds of local food banks across Canada.

Look for similar projects in your area!
