Bombshell Letter


Last week, Terry got a bombshell letter from the unemployment office. She learned her unemployment benefits will expire for good before New Year’s Day. Do you know someone like Terry?


For millions of “99ers” losing their unemployment benefits after nearly two years, no new extended benefits are coming their way. Although this issue has received little local media coverage, state officials are wracking their brains, anticipating a coming tidal wave. As public coffers shrink, agencies are looking to community-based nonprofit agencies to help cushion the blow.

Right now, Community Voice Mail is mounting a response. To learn more you can read our project proposal.


Will you help us? If you are able, I hope you will. Please be as generous as you can so we can be there for our friends and neighbors who need us.


Thank you for caring, and for showing you care.

Sincerely,



Jennifer Brandon

Executive Director
