Religious Communities Using Toll Free

Today is a holy holiday within the Catholic church..Ash Wednesday. And it reminds us how many religious organizations nationwide are now connecting with their parishioners through a toll free telephone number. In fact, churches of all denominations nationwide use toll free for information and resources and also for donations. The same goes for non-profits. While once primarily used for businesses, toll free service is now spreading to all types of religious communities and charities.
