OTTAWA --
A new campaign is asking you to donate your gently used cellphones to women’s shelters in the city of Kingston.
"Project Connect" is run by students with Queen’s University's Faculty of Health Sciences.
People can donate their used cellphones, tablets and laptops, and they will be given out to those in need, including those at women’s shelters.
Student organizer Naomi Wedel says the technology can make a difference in someone’s day-to-day life.
"It’s going to be potentially life changing," Wedel tells CTV News Ottawa. "Being able to have access to ways of expanding their lives, starting over, having that fresh start."
