Volunteers Needed to Help Low Income Residents With Taxes

Help WantedThe Geauga County Financial Stability Partnership is seeking volunteers to assist with no-cost tax preparation for low income individuals in Geauga County. Prior tax experience is helpful. New volunteers will need to attend one half-day training session.

Tax preparation sites will be open around Geauga County from February through early April. Volunteers can work on Saturdays, weekdays or evenings.

The Geauga County Financial Stability Partnership is a collaboration between the Geauga County Commissioners and United Way Services of Geauga County. This program is working to ensure that individuals can achieve their educational and financial goals while also meeting their basic needs.

Last year, tax volunteers saved 77 residents from paying to have their taxes done, stimulating the local economy with $112,906 in tax refunds.

For more information, please contact Joann Randall at jrandall@uws.org or 440-285-2261 ext. 225.
