Randolph Firefighters L1268 would like to remind and encourage participation in our 4th annual cell phone drive for the registered non profit charity Cell Phones for Soldiers.  Cellphones for Soldiers mission is to provide a means for our military personnel to call home at no cost. This is achieved by collecting and recycling unwanted cell phones, chargers and accessories. The proceeds from these items are then used to purchase pre paid calling cards for the men and women serving in our armed forces overseas.  In the past four years Local 1268 is proud to have collected and shipped over 3500 cell phones with a dollar value of over $17,500 in calling cards for our US service men and women serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait. This could not be done without your generous help and support.  This year takes on special importance and significance as one of our own is slated to begin his tour of duty overseas after the first of the year.  We accept any make or model cell phone, cell phone battery, pager, charger, PDA or accessory in any condition, as well as ink jet cartridges, for this incredibly simple and successful cause.  Thank you for continuing to support our troops and their families this holiday season.
