Do you have an old smartphone, tablet, or watch that you no longer use? Consider donating it to the church! We’re partnering with ecoATM LLC to recycle these devices, and the funds we receive will go directly toward the ministry and missions of the church. Plus, ecoATM will contribute a portion of the resale to support the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Your generosity will make a difference! Thank you for your support.
How It Works
Prepare Your Device
- Fully charge your device (if your device does not power on, you may donate as is)
- Reset your device – Factory reseting will ensure that all your data is wiped from your device. For Apple devices, you must disable “Find My” setting. (Click Here for steps to turn off “Find My” on any apple device)

Factory Reset
- Go to your “Settings”, tap on “General” and then “Transfer or Reset iPhone”.
- Tap “Erase All Content and Settings”. If you have a passcode, you’ll be prompted to enter it.
