HELP SOLDIERS STAY IN TOUCH WITH LOVED ONES

Honda of Concord to serve as a drop off location for old cell phones to be turned into free minutes for soldiers to talk to their loved ones

Imagine being thousands of miles from home in an area that is culturally far different than the hometown where you grew up, or on a base within the United States and wanting to feel closer to home.  Wouldn’t you cherish just a few minutes to talk with someone close to you?  Many of our military men and women are currently in that situation.  Others are confined to hospital beds as they recuperate from injuries sustained while defending our freedom.  The Cell Phones for Soldiers organization, founded by Brittany and Robbie Bergquist of Norwell, MA, made it their mission to provide free calls home to US armed forces personnel.

In support of Cell Phones for Soldiers, Honda of Concord is partnering with Cell Phones for Soldiers for the third year in a row, to help them reach their 2012 goal of providing 750,000 free communication tools to troops stationed around the world.

Over the past 2 years the Honda Dealers of the Carolinas collected over 5,700 cell phones, which allowed the organization to provide over 344,500 minutes for service personnel to talk with their loved ones back home. 

Now through July 31^st, we invite people in our community to donate their new or used cell phones at Honda of Concord, 7650 Bruton Smith Blvd, Concord, NC 28027. For more details visit our website at http://www.hondaofconcord.com or call us at 704-979-7500.

Honda of Concord appreciates your continued support of this very worthwhile charity.
