Do you have old cell phones or tablets lying around? Make a difference in our community! Call to Safety collects cell phones and tablets to distribute them to survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Survivors are able to use these cell phones to call 911, allowing immediate help at the touch of a button. Call to Safety also recycles used cell phones. All profits and proceeds are used to fund services for survivors accessing Call to Safety. 

Do not include cell phone cases, original packaging, additional batteries, or other accessories with your donation. Do not include chargers unless you are donating a working phone in good condition. 

If you have a cell phone you would like to donate you can mail it to:

Call to Safety Cell Phone Project

P.O. Box 42610

Portland, OR 97242

What we do with your phones: Call to Safety uses cell phone donations in a couple different ways. Older phones are packaged up with the charger and some Call to Safety information. These phones are given to survivors so they can make 911 calls for their safety. Smart phones and/or newer models of phones are sent to a cell phone recycling company that recycles the phone and sends us a check for the phones we send them. We use the money we get from the company to fund our services for survivors.

To protect your privacy, we recommend you remove all personal information from your phone before making your donation.

If you have any questions about the cell phone program, you can call the Call to Safety Business Office at (503) 232-9751.

You can help Call to Safety by donating your old vehicle!

Call to Safety is proud to work with the Volunteers of America Oregon Vehicle Donation Program. You can specify Call to Safety to receive the proceeds from the donation of your vehicle.

“For too many years, I compared myself to other survivors. I felt guilty for not healing fast enough and felt too damaged to be loved. That all changed in this last year, since I have been interning at Call to Safety. Due to the amazing support, knowledge, and dedication the staff at Call to Safety have exposed me to, I have grown tremendously and have turned my trauma into fuel to help other survivors.”
