Dowling College is now holding two ongoing cell phone drives. The Office of Public Relations & Communications is collecting cell phones to be donated to VIBS, the Victims Information Bureau of Suffolk. VIBS is a non-profit Family Violence and Rape Crisis Center in Suffolk County. VIBS accepts cell phones for distribution to our clients or recycling. All cell phones are accepted. Broken, outdated or phones without chargers will be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. Funds raised will be used to support VIBS’ counseling, advocacy, and preventive education & outreach services.
Phones can be left in VIBS' drop box at:
Bookstore at the Brookhaven Campus in Shirley
Student Services in the Racanelli Center at the Rudolph Campus in Oakdale
The Dowling Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is having an ongoing cell phone drive for the Secure the Call Foundation. This organization distributes cell phones to domestic violence shelters, senior centers, neighborhood watch groups, school crossing guards and other agencies with an immediate need for 911 access. The website is www.donatemycellphone.org
The phones can be dropped off in the Athletic Office at 99 Idle Hour Blvd. (white house) between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
