Donate Your Old Cell Phone To Domestic Violence Victims

In this fast-pace world of upgrades, we women can change cellphone styles as easily as we do our shoes.

But did you know your old cell phone can be a valuable lifeline for a woman enduring domestic violence?

Verizon Wireless’ HopeLine Program collects no-longer used wireless phones, batteries and accessories from any wireless service provider at their stores nationwide. Since 1995, they have been active in recycling, funding and contributing to victims of domestic violence and DV organizations.

They even make it easy for you to contribute: you can drop off your used phone to any Verizon Wireless retail store nationwide, or print out a free, postage-paid downloadable label for you to mail in your old phone for recycling.

So the next time you call up your girlfriends, plan a call to arms.

Snow Angels

There is nothing I loathe more than winter. The layers of clothes, the freezing temps... Did I mention the lake effect snow?

However, donning footwear as chic as these fur-trimmed, pom-pom-detailed boots would have me building igloos and tasting snowflakes with glee.

Marshalls' NYC Exhibit For Domestic Violence

The National Domestic Violence Hotline (NDVH) and Marshalls have joined together to take a stand for Domestic Violence Awareness Month:

~ Thursday, October 8th
~ New York City at Union Square Park
~ Noon to 1 PM

Together, they will launch an integrated program that aims to raise money and awareness for the prevention of domestic violence. Along with Robin Givens, Marshalls and the NDVH will unveil a symbolic exhibit honoring all those who take a stand against domestic violence. The exhibit, which is comprised of six unique arches, will feature information about the cause, the names of the many organizations who have worked tirelessly to put an end to domestic violence and celebrity audio messages of support from Jennifer Love Hewitt, Joe Torre, Rosie Perez, Martina McBride, Vivica Fox, Robin Givens, Chaka Khan, Michael Bolton, and more.

This event supports the annual Marshalls "Shop 'Til it Stops" in-store program, where for every pair of shoes purchased at Marshalls during October 1-15th, one dollar - up to $150,000 - will be donated to the NDVH to help put an end to domestic violence.

After the unveiling, the tunnel will be open to the public until 6pm on October 8th and then from Noon-6pm on October 9th.

Please let everyone you know in New York City to attend!

Take a Stand Against Domestic Violence

October is most often thought of as the month shrowded in pink awareness. Yet many are unaware that October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month, giving voice to up to six out of every ten women who have experience physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime worldwide.

Throughout the month, I will be featuring important news and awareness, as domestic violence is no longer a private issue that women have to feel ashamed about.


The Saving Promise Campaign, founded by third-generation domestic violence victim/survivor Y.L. Marlow, was created after Marlow's infant grandaughter named Promise was in jeopardy of being a victim by the hands of her own father. Marlow saw the immediate need to develop a movement and bring domestic violence awareness to the forefront.
