Cell Phone Program

Can I mail them?

More than 200 organizations nationwide collect cell phones for fund-raising purposes.  The Women's Commission program is different in that it tries to give the phones to domestic violence victims through the commission's own services, the Shelter for Battered Women, Victim Assistance, the Department of Social Services' Youth & Family Services and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's domestic violence unit.

With a donated phone, a domestic violence victim (or a potential victim) can call 911 in an emergency.  Most cell phones are programmed to call 911, regardless of whether the user has purchased a service plan or not.  The phone simply needs to be fully charged.

For more information on the effects of domestic violence in our community, call the Mecklenburg County Women's Commission at 704-336-3210 or The Shelter For Battered Women at 704-332-2513.

To find out more about this program check our Cell Phone Program.
