Cricket Wireless is Not Quiet

It’s a chilly Tuesday in March and the soup kitchen is teeming with life. A whole community of people shares a hot meal while talking over UCONN men’s basketball’s woes and the women’s success.

"Philanthropy is part of Cricket's cultural DNA. We work with national and regional charities to make a significant impact where it matters most – in the community," said Dawn Benton, assistant vice president, corporate communications, Cricket Wireless. "Whether donating cell phones and wireless service or helping a worthy citizen renovate their home, Cricket prioritizes giving back."

Here’s proof positive that they put their time and money where their mouth is:
