Free voicemail helps homeless people get jobs
Community Voicemail offers free voicemail boxes to homess and unemployed people who are seeking work, so they'll have a way for prospective employers to reach them. The program is very successful too: "workers distributed voicemail numbers to 145 people over 6 months, and a whopping 70% found jobs within 2 months!" Link (via Evhead)Share this post
