La Verne Police Department is currently collecting cell phones through its Cell Phone Collection Program. Residents can donate their used cell phones with the accompanying charger.

The phones will be given to The House of Ruth to be used by domestic violence victims. Individuals will be able to use the cell phones to contact police in cases of emergency. Existing service is not necessary for phones to be donated. Cell phone donations are also tax deductible.

For more information about the Cell Phone Collection Program contact Nita Ulloa at 596-1913.
