TAX ASSISTANCE PROGRAM A SUCCESS  This year’s Free Tax Assistance Program was a great success with a 20% increase in the number of tax returns filed. Thanks to all the wonderful and dedicated Tax Program volunteers who make this outstanding program grow each year. The volunteers served at CANI and St. Mary’s Church.  Here are some great figures:  • 1911 taxes filed (20% increase) • $2,771,976 in tax returns (11% increase) • 457 low income families received $982,918 in EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) (12% increase) • 72% of families earned less than $25,000/ year • 30% of taxpayers had a disability • 71 Military families were served. Join the tax program team. It is a great group of volunteers who gain satisfaction in assisting the hard-hit families of our community.
