Since its program started just over two years ago, Eternal Valley Memorial Park Mortuary, with the contributions and support of Newhall and the surrounding communities, has collected more than 500 cell phones and accessories that provided over 31,000 minutes of call time to our service men and women. Eternal Valley will continue to serve as a collection center for Cell Phones for Soldiers, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, which is dedicated to providing cost-free communication services to active duty military members and veterans.
“Eternal Valley has been a tremendous advocate for our troops and Cell Phones for Soldiers,” said Robbie Barguest, co-founder of the nine-year old non-profit. “Through its phone recycling efforts, we’ve been able to provide free international calling cards to hundreds of troops, allowing them a chance to make a precious call home. We couldn’t support the servicemen and women without great partners like Eternal Valley.”
Based in Norwell, Mass., Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded in 2004 by Robbie and Brittany Bergquist, then 12 and 13 years old. The organization has provided 192 million minutes of free talk time to deployed military members. For more information, visit www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com.
“We are honored to have had such amazing success with this program so far and extremely grateful to the community for its support in this effort,” said Curtis Woods II, general manager, Eternal Valley.
Phones and accessories can be dropped off daily between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. in the reception area of Eternal Valley at 23287 North Sierra Hwy., in Newhall. For more information call (661) 259-0800.
