This year, we’re launching larger initiatives for Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) across Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska, and Tennessee. These programs aim to enhance tax understanding, prepare tax returns for free for low-to-moderate income individuals, and promote asset building through tax incentives. By partnering with local chapters, we encourage community engagement in offering assistance. Interested volunteers can receive certification training from October to December. Let's empower our communities towards financial self-sufficiency!
