Energizer Batteries
We have a supply of free hearing aid batteries available, thanks to Energizer Batteries. The shipping costs normally run about $5.00 (USD), however, if the shipping cost is not within the parent’s budget we will waive that fee. Please call us if you’d like more information about the battery sizes we have available.

Recycle for Green
We have partnered with Recycling4Green to collect used consumer electronics for a recycling fundraiser. Items such as used cell phones, ink jet printer cartridges, MP3 players, DVDs and video games are being collected and recycled. There are over 100 million old cell phones, 2 billion DVDs, 30 million digital cameras, and 41 million MP3 players stashed away in closets, drawers and garages. And because many of the components in these products are toxic we are trying to do our part to take care of the environment by recycling them. If you would like to contribute one of your used electronic items please contact us. If you would like more information about Recycle4Green please visit their website at www.recycling4green.com
