Donate your old cell phones for a good cause.

A.T. Still University is teaming up with Cell Phones for Soliders Inc. for a week long program.

The university and non-profit are asking Northeast Missouri residents to help troops connect with their loved ones back home, by donating gently-used cell phones.

More than 300,000 troops are serving over seas, and rarely get the opportunity to call back home and talk to their families.

The Student Association of Military Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons (SAMOPS) along with Theta Psi are involved in helping make this cell phone drive one of success.

You may drop-off your gently used cell phones at several locations around Kirksville:

1. Northeast Regional Medical Center cafeteria

2. Century 21 Whitney Agency

3. Hy-Vee

4. Wooden Nickel restaurant

5. Steve's Garden Deli

6. Pancake City

7. Mary Immaculate Parish

8. Orscheln Farm and Home

The collections are February 4-8.
