Free Phones at the Fair |
|||
|
While at the fair, MDFR representatives will also be collecting used cell phones that will be refurbished for future use. All digital cell phones in good working condition can be donated. The Dial-A-Life Program is a Miami-Dade County initiative, created by Chairman Joe A. Martinez, that is dedicated to collecting used, disconnected digital cellular telephones and reprogramming them so eligible at-risk Miami-Dade residents (elderly, disabled, low-income, domestic-violence victims, and parents of disabled children) can call 9-1-1 for emergency assistance. Since its inception in 2001, over 4,500 phones have been distributed. It is the policy of Miami-Dade County to comply with all of the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The facility is accessible. For sign language interpreters, assistive listening devices or materials in accessible format, please call 786-331-5200 at least five days in advance.
