Need to call a landlord? A potential employer? A doctor's office? A crisis line? Most of us reach for our pocket without thinking. For someone without reliable access to a phone, those everyday calls can become major obstacles. 🚧 That's why several organizations in the Upper Valley now offer free public phones that anyone can use for outgoing calls. Because sometimes, 1 phone call is all it takes. 💚 📞 Find a phone: Listen Community Services (Lebanon, NH) Lebanon Public Library (Lebanon, NH) Kilton Public Library (West Lebanon, NH) Upper Valley Haven Community Food Market (White River Junction, VT) Photo credit: Jennifer Hauck, Valley News #AccessMatters #HumanServices #StrongerTogether #HCRSvt hcrs.org
