Your Old Cell Phones Can Help The Gluten Intolerance Group

If you have any inactive cell phones lying around, you might consider donating them to the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America. The phones will be recycled, and the Gluten Intolerance Group will receive a payment for each phone.

If you happen to be going to their annual conference in Dallas in June, you can bring the phone(s), or you can mail them to: GIG, 31214 - 124 Ave SE, Auburn WA 98092.

The Gluten Intolerance Group directs its support and educational programs at patients, health professionals, manufacturers, the hospitality industry, and the publi

Has anyone done this?

By the time I get new phones the one I had is so beaten up and barely working I can't see donating it to anyone, I let my moms foster kids play with it. The one used to have my old nokia phone....and I even would charge it so it could ring for her when she would push a certain button.

The phone itself was unactiviated and the sim card was out of it so she couldn't do much else....but she felt real grown-up though.
