The Minnesota State Mankato Chapter of the Golden Key Honor Society is helping Committee Against Domestic Abuse (CADA) with the CALL to PROTECT cell phone drive Feb. 14 - Mar. 10. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to drop off their used cellular phones (phones do not have to work) at any of the following locations:
This effort is part of the national CALL TO PROTECT campaign, which allows individuals to retire their cellular phones in a way that is environmentally friendly. It also provides phones, with matching airtime, to domestic violence agencies. The CALL TO PROTECT campaign is part of The Wireless Foundation. For more information go to the Wireless Foundation website.
Mankato's CADA shelter provides temporary emergency shelter to victims of domestic violence. Victims are assisted with 24 hour crisis intervention, short and long term safety planning, legal advocacy, systems advocacy and information and referral.
