Hey there, Horry County! As we wrap up the year, many folks are starting to think about their taxes. And here’s some exciting news for anyone needing a helping hand: an amazing local organization is looking for volunteers to help provide free tax assistance starting early next year! That’s right! The United Way of Horry County’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is about to dive into action, and they could really use your help.
The VITA program is all about supporting local residents who might need a bit of extra help with their tax returns. It’s designed for people who have earned $60,000 or less in 2023, as well as those who are disabled or have limited English-speaking skills. The best part? They offer tax preparation services entirely free of charge. So, if you know someone in this demographic, sending them over to VITA can be a real lifesaver!
This fantastic service is set to kick off on January 25, and it will be happening at various locations around Horry County, including…
It’s a convenient way to get tax help right in your neighborhood!
If you’re looking for a way to give back to your community, this is it! The VITA program is on the lookout for enthusiastic volunteers willing to lend a hand at all those locations. Don’t worry if you’re not a tax whiz – no previous tax experience is required. That’s right! They will provide comprehensive training to get you ready to assist.
Speaking of training, mark your calendars for Thursday, January 9 through Saturday, January 11! It’s during these days that volunteers can learn everything they need to know to be effective contributors to the program. There are different roles available, so whether you want to be a greeter, a screener, or even take on the role of a tax preparer, there’s something for everyone.
If this sounds like something you’d love to be a part of, you’ll want to fill out their registration form. It’s the first step to becoming a valued member of this philanthropic effort! And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact Heather Downing at 843-347-1191 or shoot her an email – she’s eager to help out!
Volunteering for the VITA program is more than just helping people with their taxes; it’s about making a difference in the community. Many residents may feel overwhelmed or confused by the tax process, and your support could mean the world to them. Plus, you’ll be gaining valuable experience, meeting new friends, and having some fun along the way!
So, as we look ahead into the new year, consider giving back with your time and talents. The VITA program is ramping up to provide essential support to folks in need, and they can’t do it without dedicated volunteers like you!
