Donate
Your Used Cell Phones to FVP:
The Family Violence Project is accepting donations
of used cell phones that are not currently activated
or connected to a cellular service provider. Your
used cell phone will be used in one of two ways -
either as an important safety tool for those 
experiencing
domestic violence or as a fundraiser. Cell phones
that are in good working condition will be cleared
of information and loaned for use as an emergency
911 phone to those experiencing domestic violence.
Cell phones that are not in good working condition
or that have been collected in excess of the needs
of our emergency program, will be used as a fundraising
tool.
Our
cell
phone fundraiser program is sponsored by Shelter
Alliance (www.shelteralliance.net),
a program of cell
phone recycling company GRC Wireless Recycling
(www.grcrecycling.com).
Through Shelter Alliance, nonprofit organizations
raise funds through the collection
& recycling of used cell phones, and businesses
& consumers donate
& recycle cell phones to benefit nonprofit
participants.

Adopt-A-Family
Holiday Program: Year-round we reach out
to area groups, agencies, and businesses to 
ask
that you consider adopting a family for the winter
holidays. Previous program participants report that
they thoroughly enjoyed choosing, shopping, and wrapping
gifts for our families. The response from the families
has been equally enthusiastic. They are grateful not
only for the beautifully wrapped gifts, but for the
knowledge that the community has taken a stand on
issues of domestic violence and abuse - and truly
does care about them.
We
are hoping to hear from YOU for the 2006 / 2007 season.

Books
Behind Bars: The Family Violence Project
is collecting books to be
donated to the inmate library at the Kennebec County
Correctional Facility. Most acceptable are modern
and up-to-date books on self-improvement. Instructional
books such as arts and crafts, carpentry, or other
topics are also good. Books on addressing the effects
of addiction and abuse are appreciated. Novels are
welcomed, although books with gratuitous violence
are screened out.
