Dear Colleague,

With the bustling holiday season underway, many of us use this time to give unto others. Whether faith or community calls you to serve the less fortunate, remember that Social Security needs your help to inform people experiencing financial and other hardships about Social Security benefits and services. This includes people with limited income, limited English proficiency, people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, and people with mental illness.

One way you can help is to remind your members, clients, and others that financial help may be available from Social Security. We updated our toolkit on our Faith-Based and Community Groups webpage. It features suggested social media posts, newsletter articles you can publish, and a list of our Regional Communications Directors so you can request a free speaker (virtual or live) for your group.

We also invite you to subscribe to updates via our Advocates page. Our timely and relevant messages will keep you informed about our new and expanded services and programs so that you, in turn, can educate those in need.

On behalf of everyone at Social Security, thank you for giving your time and raising awareness - this holiday season and throughout the year - among those who need our help.

Sincerely,

Dawn Bystry
Deputy Associate Commissioner
Office of Strategic and Digital Communications
