Once again this year, CAHS is helping to support the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites we work with in Fairfield, New Haven, and Litchfield Counties by recruiting and coordinating the volunteers who keep this program running. We have launched a new volunteer registration website this year, Volunteer Hub, where volunteers can register to volunteer in their area and sign up for tax trainings with the IRS.
CAHS’s VITA Volunteer Hub can be accessed at: http://ctvita.volunteerhub.com. Please forward to your networks and to anyone you know who may be interested in serving with the VITA program this year in the Greater New Haven area.
-----
Volunteers interested in serving in Greater Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stamford, Waterbury, Danbury, Meriden, Torrington, or Winsted can also use this website to learn about VITA volunteer opportunities in their area. Potential volunteers from the Greater Hartford area, Tolland or Windham Counties should visit Co-opportunity’s Volunteer Hub page at http://habc.volunteerhub.com.
Did you know you can volunteer this winter and help give $5,000,000 to low-income families in New Haven? And you don’t have to donate or raise a cent from your friends and relatives.
Five million dollars. That’s our goal this year for refunds and tax credits that our volunteers
will generate by helping low-income families with their tax returns. If you
want to really make a difference in the
fight against poverty, join us by being a volunteer tax preparer or screener.
No experience necessary. You will be completely trained. The tax season is only
14 weeks long, and you only need to volunteer one night a week. Can you donate
your time to help those who struggle to put food on the table get the tax
credits they qualify for?
Please help low-income working families achieve financial stability. Please call us for more information or to apply. New Life
Corporation, 203-777-0313, or e-mail jim@newlifecorp.org.
