Georgia Northwestern Technical College’s Leadership Team 3 Community Development has joined with The Greater Rome Society of Human Resource Management to conduct a Cell Phones for Soldiers drive. This community project is a way of supporting and assisting our troops in calling home.

More than 150,000 troops are serving overseas. Cell Phones for Soldiers is an opportunity for all Americans to support the troops by donating old cell phones. Old cell phones are recycled and the proceeds are used to purchase calling cards for the troops so they can stay connected with their families.

When donating your old phone, remove the battery or chip to clear the memory.

Please share this information with your students, friends, and family by offering them the opportunity to participate in this great cause.

Donation boxes are located on each GNTC campus:

Floyd County Campus: Building A - receptionist area

Gordon County Campus: Building 100 - receptionist area; Building 300 - room 314

Polk County Campus: Building B - receptionist area

Walker County Campus: Building 500 - upstairs lobby

This drive will end in celebration of Veterans Day on Nov. 11.
