Donating Cell Phones Can Increase Your 2008 Tax Refund and Support Troops Serving Abroad

Norwell, MA (PRWEB) February 3, 2008 - Liberty Tax and Cell Phones for Soldiers want to remind you that donating cell phones to help troops serving abroad call home is a tax deduction that can help increase your return. When you donate your old phone, Liberty Tax will donate an additional $5 to Cell Phones for Soldiers.

More than 150,000 troops serving overseas are away from their homes and families. The non-profit Cell Phones for Soldiers is calling on all Americans to support these brave men and women by donating cell phones that they no longer need. Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to collect over 25,000 cell phones during tax season to help keep troops connected with their families.

"We have been overwhelmed by the generous support of thousands of Americans who have helped our troops speak with their loved ones," says the teens' father, Bob Bergquist. "However the need for support keeps growing as more soldiers are sent to the Middle East or are asked to serve extended tours of duty."

Through increased fundraising efforts, the Bergquist family hopes to raise more than $9 million in the next five years to fund new programs, such as providing video phones and prepaid service to allow soldiers abroad to see their families on a regular basis.

Phones donated to Cell Phones for Soldiers are sent to Michigan-based ReCellular, which pays up to $50 for each donated phone - enough to provide twenty-five hours of calling cards to soldiers abroad.

It's easy to help the troops during this tax season. Simply visit your local Liberty Tax store when preparing your taxes and donate your old cell phone. You can write off the donation. A refund for you and a call home from our troops is a good payoff for all of us.

Local residents can support the collection drive by donating their cell phones at Liberty Tax locations. Visit libertytax.com to learn more, submit your taxes online and donate your old cell phone.
