FISHERS, Ind., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This October, community members across the country can provide support and make a difference during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Committed to its goal of ending domestic violence, TCC, a Verizon authorized retailer and subsidiary of Round Room, LLC, is partnering with nonprofit, More Than a Phone, to launch a nationwide campaign to raise awareness, honor survivors, and advocate for efforts to end domestic violence.

As part of this initiative, members of domestic violence programs within More Than a Phone's network created original artwork to be featured on microfiber screen cleaning cloths. The public can now vote for their favorite design of the top five finalists, and cloths with the winning design will be available for purchase at participating TCC locations. In addition, the program that the winning artist is involved in will receive a $5,000 grant to continue its work supporting domestic violence survivors in its community.

"This campaign embodies what More Than a Phone is about – using everyday connections to provide hope, resources, and a stronger sense of community," said Courtney Kibble, Executive Director of Round Room Gives and More Than a Phone. "We're passionate about amplifying the voices of survivors and highlighting the vital work of the programs that serve them."

Additionally, all TCC stores are hosting in-store phone drives the month of October where community members are encouraged to donate any type of phone, tablet, or device with a screen, in any condition. These items will be refurbished and provided to survivors of domestic violence, giving them a secure way to connect with loved ones and access essential resources. Donors are asked to clear personal data prior to donating, which store team members will be able to assist with. Participants can receive 20% off a tech accessory with their donation.

Campaign Details:

  • Public voting for the artwork design is now open at TCC stores and on More Than a Phone's website.
  • The winning artwork will be featured on custom phone cleaning cloths available for purchase at participating TCC stores.
  • The program of the winning artist will receive a $5,000 grant from More Than a Phone.
  • Device donations are being accepted at all TCC stores nationwide. All devices with screens, in any condition, are welcome.

Since its inception, More Than a Phone has provided thousands of free phones and wireless service plans to survivors of domestic violence through its nationwide network of partner programs. This campaign is focused on creativity, technology, and community impact, representing the next step in the organization's mission to empower survivors through connection and safety.
