DESIGNATE YOUR TAX CREDIT TO IHELP BY DECEMBER 31

The Charitable Tax Credit can be designated to The Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (IHELP).  This Charitable Tax Credit is a win-win for all!  Also called the Working Poor Tax Credit, the tax credit will come off your State bill, lowering the amount of tax you will pay or increasing your refund amount.  Married couples filing jointly can donate $400 to TCAA and single filers can donate up to $200.  You can participate in this tax credit and the school tax credit in the same year!  For questions contact Beth at 480-350-5883 or click on the flyer.

Develop an appetite for running and walking rather than lazing and crazing this Holiday Season.  "Team TCAA" is looking for runners and walkers to join us in "The Mayor's Run." PF Chang's Rock 'N' Roll Arizona Marathon & Half Marathon on January 16, 2011.  Your participation will raise funds for Tempe Community Action Agency, and help those needing assistance in our community.  Don't put your goal of doing a marathon off for another year, email Kathy Estrada for a training packet.

Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman practices what he preaches by coming out on Saturday mornings to train with his teams.
