AT&T Inc today announced the launch of AT&T Care to Connect in all AT&T retail locations nationwide. Through AT&T Care to Connect, shoppers can give $1, $5 or $10 toward prepaid phone cards for military members. AT&T will match the total dollars collected by the program through Dec. 21, 2008, doubling the amount of phone cards issued to the troops via customer giving alone.

Phone cards generated through AT&T Care to Connect will be distributed to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and other overseas regions between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. The new holiday program builds on AT&T’s commitment to help keep military families connected. In the past two years alone, AT&T has donated prepaid phone cards with a retail value of more than $4 million to help support U.S. military members and their families.

AT&T still offers all 2,000-plus company stores across the U.S. as recycling drop-off spots for the charity Cell Phones for Soldiers (CPFS). CPFS recycles wireless phones and uses the proceeds to buy phone cards for the troops. Holiday shoppers can recycle wireless phones they are replacing this season in any AT&T store or via free shipping labels from att.com/holidayconnect. Beginning Dec. 1, The AT&T Pioneers, the company’s volunteer organization, will launch roughly 100 community-based recycling drives for CPFS in AT&T office buildings and other locations to help support the cause.
