The Washingto DC CVM blog is live again!

Hello from Community Voice Mail in Washington DC! Over the past year there have been many changes to our program. After being hosted for 3 years by the DC Central Kitchen, the DC CVM program is now being co-hosted by 5 local DC agencies in partnership with the CVM National office.

Community Voice Mail helps people living in poverty, transition and homelessness rebuild their lives by connecting them to jobs, housing, information and hope. Visit our website for more information at www.cvm.org.
