Kauai RSVP collects old cell phones to benefit Kauai Habitat

Kauai RSVP, a volunteer organization that is part of the Agency on Elderly Affairs, is collecting used cell phones to benefit Kauai Habitat for Humanity. Cell phone companies have pledged to donate between 50 cents and $30 for each cell phone turned in, depending on the model and condition of the phone.

The drive will end Jan. 17 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration to be held at the Kukui Grove Center from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Used cell phones, including cell phone batteries, can be dropped off at these locations:

• Agency on Elderly Affairs, Lihue Civic Center, Piikoi Building, 4444 Rice St., Suite 330
• Neighborhood centers in Hanapepe, Kalaheo, Kapaa, Kekaha, Kilauea, Koloa, Lihue and Waimea
• Mahelona Hospital
