Financially empowering our community’s most vulnerable

For many in need, getting taxes completed is the first step to accessing the government supports that they are eligible for. Our volunteer-run tax clinic helps people with low income complete their taxes for free in a supportive environment.

 

This program has brought millions of federal dollars into the local economy over the years.

David’s story
David came to our tax clinic feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start. He was worried about a large bill for his mother’s care, who was dealing with multiple medical issues and memory loss, and didn’t know how to resolve the situation.
With support from our team, he was able to access the information he needed and communicate effectively with the care facility. By helping him navigate the process and advocate for his mother, we provided clarity and a path forward.

He left feeling relieved and hopeful, a reminder that even complex challenges can be addressed when the right support is in place, and that no one has to face these struggles alone.
