Used Cell Phone Fundraiser:

Many cell phone owners and businesses are wondering what they should do with their old, inactive cell phones. Cayuga/Seneca Community Action Agency has an easy solution - donate them!

Collection boxes are located at Agency sites including:

Site I: 65 State Street, Auburn
Site II: Corner of Clark Street and Brookfield Place, Auburn
Seneca Office: 23 Center Street, Waterloo

All donations will stay in the community and will be utilized by the Agency to meet our mission of assisting people to achieve and sustain self-sufficiency and self-dignity. For more information, please call (315) 255-1703 ext.155.
