| United Way's Response |
United Way's focus on Successful Families includes achieving financial stability. In order to help working families achieve this, United Way of Central Oklahoma is partnering with Oklahoma City University to provide free income tax preparation. Low-income families could be eligible for as much as $4,824 in tax credits through the Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC. The credit equals as much as 10% of some families' annual incomes. In 2007, central Oklahoma families received more than $3,800,000 through the EITC program. Trained volunteers provide this assistance, on Saturdays only, through April 11 at the United Way offices located at 1444 NW 28th Street beginning at 9 a.m. To find out more about the EITC program, contact Rachel Klein or call 405-523-3534.
United Way of Central Oklahoma continues to focus on developing Strong Families so that all individuals and families have resources to achieve financial stability as well as access to counseling, debt management, education, job training, and housing.
