Recycle Phones for Free - Help the Food Bank

The Canadian Association of Food Banks (CAFB) in partnership with Rogers Wireless have announced for the first time in Canada, that select Rogers Wireless devices will now be sold with postage-paid recycling envelopes in each box.

The Phones-for-Food program began in 2003 as an initiative by the Canadian Association of Food Banks in order to alleviate hunger and divert waste from landfill sites. Since its inception, over $300,000 has been generated for food banks across the country. One wireless device, depending on its age and condition, can be worth $2-$5 when donated, which is the equivalent to a jar of peanut butter or one carton of milk.

Last year in Canada more than 750,000 people accessed a food bank in one single month," said Charles Seiden, Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Food Banks.

Donations can be made two easy ways:

1. Postage-paid recycling envelopes are now included in box with select new wireless device sales for Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Samsung. Existing wireless customers can visit www.phonesforfood.com and download a postage-paid mailing label.

2. Donation boxes are available across the country at 1000 Rogers Wireless and Rogers Video locations. A list of all participating locations is available on www.phonesforfood.com
