@terri I collect old cell phones and tablets and distribute them through a day shelter attached to a local food shelf. There is limitless demand even for 10+ year old phones as they are constantly damaging or losing them (often by theft). Most of the work is helping people do a factory reset. I get some chargers and cables but also buy those in bulk for around $4.50 per set. Phones = access to housing, jobs, benefits, health care, family

@pws @terri how old is old, and how far is too far away. I have two functional, but obsolete phones iPhone 6, Samsung S9 would love to re-home, possibly a few old Kindles, not sure if putting them in a box and shipping would work for you.
