Day of Caring
| |
On Saturday, September 22 more than 150 volunteers gathered together at First Assembly to kick off this year's Day of Caring event. While it was a bit chilly and rainy, the weather did not deter the volunteers. From painting and landscaping to sorting donations and working with seniors, these volunteers showed us what it means to LIVE UNITED!

| Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program | |
Now, more than ever, you deserve to keep your money. VITA provides free, quality tax return preparation to low-to-moderate income individuals, families, and seniors.To qualify for FREE tax help and possible earned income tax and child care credits, your 2012 household income must be less than $49,000.
Thank you to everyone who helped make tax season so successful in 2011! 72 volunteers helped prepare more than 862 returns that were accepted by the IRS for over $1.2 million in tax refunds! These refunds not only helped those who needed it most, but also helped generate more income within the local economy.
Get involved! Spread the word to those who qualify for the program, or receive free training to become an IRS-certified tax preparer. Find out more...
