Our Programs

Each contribution to Cell Phones For Soldiers provides military members with precious talk time through our Minutes That Matter program, and it gives one-time emergency financial
assistance to returning veterans through our Helping Heroes Home program.

Minutes That Matter: Domestic Minutes

Cell Phones For Soldiers is committed to connecting veterans, military personal and military family members with cell phones and domestic airtime minutes by partnering with a leading lifeline provider. With the assistance of the federal lifeline program, Minutes that Matter can offer eligible households monthly discounts on domestic wireless minutes.

This program is only available in select states. To find out more information about eligibility and how to apply for the Minutes that Matter program, please fill out the form by clicking here and a volunteer will be in contact with you.
