Volunteers Needed NOW – Join our team!

Join our volunteer team this winter and be a VITAL part of our community!

Thanks to our VITA volunteers, we are able to offer FREE income tax preparation for community members with low to moderate income. Over $1 million in tax refunds are returned into our community every year through the VITA program – these refunds make a huge difference for our program participants, allowing them to pay for rent, utilities, medication and other essentials. The more volunteers we have, the more community members the VITA program can serve!

FREE TRAINING is provided so that volunteers can confidently prepare income tax returns, answer tax-related questions, and refer taxpayers to other resources as needed.
