How Long Life Friends Charity's text message program works — what we send, how you opt in, how you stop, and how we protect your privacy.
When you complete our Schedule Free Pickup or Contact Us form, there is a separate, unchecked checkbox beside the phone field. We text you only if you check that box. Your request is submitted whether or not you do, and checking it is never required to buy, donate, or receive help.
This is the exact wording shown beside the checkbox on our forms:
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply — check with your mobile carrier.
Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Reply HELP for help. Or contact us:
📞 (424) 253-4582 · ✉️ help@longlifefriends.org
We do not send text messages to anyone who contacts us regarding domestic abuse, suicide intervention, or other crisis situations. An unexpected text on a monitored phone can be a safety event. Crisis contacts are excluded from our SMS list entirely.
We do not sell, rent, or share mobile numbers or SMS consent with third parties for marketing.
SMS consent records — including the exact wording you agreed to and a timestamp — are retained as evidence of your consent. Full details in our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
