Community Voice Mail

What would your life be like if you didn't have a phone number? How would you get a job, stay in touch with friends and families, and...participate? Community Voice Mail (www.cvm.org) is a non-profit that provides free voice mail boxes and access to critical information to more than 40,000 people in the U.S. who lack the financial resources to have a phone. We distribute these voice mail boxes through a network of 2,000 social service agencies in 45 U.S. cities. Our clients are actively seeking to improve their lives and they tell us that Community Voice Mail is a critical tool that helps them reach their goals.

1. Everyone needs a phone number to participate in society.
