Phone Medics Plus Accepts Donations For Family Promise Of Brevard

Phone Medics Plus is proud to partner with Family Promise of Brevard to help families in need in our community. We accept donations of used cell phones and late model laptops and PCs for those who are facing the challenge of homelessness in Brevard County.



Homelessness brings many challenges, especially for families. A period of homelessness is one of the most difficult times in any family’s life. It is a time of fear and uncertainty, and escaping it can be extremely difficult. A cell phone or PC is a simple but powerful tool for navigating this difficult time. By donating your phone or late model laptop to Family Promise of Brevard, you’re providing families in need a lifeline to vital resources that can help them escape homelessness. With your used phone or PC, a family in need can search for jobs, search for housing, stay connected to their social support network, and have access to numerous other resources.

Family Promise of Brevard was established in Palm Bay in 2007 as one of 211 affiliates of Family Promise, a nationwide non-profit organization dedicated to helping families facing homelessness. They take a multi-faceted, holistic approach to helping families in need. Through their Interfaith Hospitality Network they partner with over 27 local congregations to provide temporary shelter for homeless families. Through their Keeping the Promise Program they work with families who have found housing in order to empower them to stay housed. Most recently, their Hand Up program works with families in order to prevent homelessness before it happens.

At Phone Medics Plus, we are committed to serving our community in as many ways as we can. That’s why we’ve partnered with Family Promise of Brevard to help provide a vital resource to families in need here in Brevard County. When you bring your used cell phone or late model PC to our facility at 91 E. Merritt Island Causeway in Merritt Island, we’ll clean it up, fix it up, and let Family Promise put it in the hands of a family who needs it.
