Volunteers needed to provide free tax help to low-income families

by | Oct 27, 2014

United Way of King County is looking for 1,000 volunteers for itsĀ Free Tax Campaign at neighborhood sites, including the Phinney Neighborhood Association, 6532 Phinney Ave. N.

Starting as a grassroots initiative in White Center thirteen years ago and led by United Way of King County, this effort is now county-wide and connects low-income workers to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), considered the most successful federal anti-poverty measure in the last four decades.
To reach our goal of serving 20,000 people across King County, we are recruiting and training over 1,000 volunteers to prepare taxes and connect clients to public benefits. Volunteer Tax Preparers and Benefits Specialists work one-on-one with friends and neighbors to connect clients to benefits and bring an average of $30,000 back into their communities. Join our talented team, receive training that boosts your skills, and help reach the people who need it most. No experience needed!

More information on volunteering is available on the Free Tax Campaign website.
