Hands of Ahava has partnered with Phoneraiser to recycle old cell phones to raise money  for our organization.

How does it work?

Based on the make and model of each phone a donation is made to Hands of Ahava to help end domestic violence and sexual assault.

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits to donating your unwanted cell phone to Hands of Ahava including:

• Phones will not end up in landfills.
• Phones will either be  reprogrammed for use by domestic violence and sexual assault victims as 911 emergency phones or recycled for donation.
• It’s a wonderful way to support Hands of Ahava work to provide assistance and community education about domestic violence and sexual assault for Los Angeles, greater Los Angeles, and Orange County.
• Tax deductible donation
