Those smartphones, tablets, gaming counsels, cameras and hand-held devices that have been laying around your house and collecting dust can be turned into cash to support the brave Illinois men and women, both active duty and veterans, who defend the United States in the armed services.

Support Our Soldiers Freedom Inc., a nonprofit organization, has partnered with ReUp Fundraising to recycle, refurbish and resell electronic devices. Proceeds help with expenses not covered by military benefits such as bills, homelessness, housing modifications, counseling, transportation, household and auto repairs, medications and more.

Donations can be dropped off at Essence Pilates, 849 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, or they can be shipped for free when creating an online account with ReUp at sosfreedom.reupfundraising.com/user/signin.
