With just one thing, Catholic Charities clients’ lives were changed. What was it? A cellphone.
The Technology Access Now program, a partnership between Catholic Charities and Providence Health and Services, provides clients with cellphones and or assistance using cellphones. The two-year-old program has already proved transformative.
One client was finally able to find and maintain housing after getting her phone. And now, she’s been able to begin her own hair and makeup business, for which she needed a phone to connect with clients.
