Our Mission: To
empower people in crisis and transition by providing free, personalized
24-hour
voice mail access: directly linking people to jobs, housing and
stability.
Your
Support Changed Her Life
|
Last year, Hillary was living in an abandoned
trailer without electricity, heat or running water. CVM
was her only tool to access the resources she so desperately
needed.
Today, Hillary is
in her own apartment, receiving medical care, and preparing
her resume – complete with her CVM telephone number.
Each
week we receive requests from people like Hillary who need
a helping hand, but don't have access to CVM.

“It
is not an exaggeration to say that Community Voice Mail
helped to save my life—without
it, I could not have connected with services and people
that turned my life around.
Alone
and with nothing, I would have given up.”
- Hillary
