The chief collaborators in this Coalition – United Way of
Greater Toledo, Lucas County
Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz, and Lucas County
Commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak— offer this service
each year.
One of the main goals is to help low-to-middle-income working
families or individuals claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC),
which puts federal tax refund dollars back into the pockets of
Lucas County residents and subsequently, our local economy.
“This is a hugely beneficial service for individuals and
families to have their taxes prepared free of charge and
learn about tax credits they may not realize they are eligible
for,” said Michelle Davis, vice president of Community
Outreach Services at United
Way.
United Way is currently looking for dedicated volunteers willing
to help these families with their tax preparation.
“Not only does this provide a great service to the community,
but it’s a great way for residents to give back,” said Treasurer
Kapszukiewicz. “This is a fantastic opportunity for seniors,
students going into the financial field, residents who are
currently out of work and looking to build their resume, or
someone just looking for a temporary volunteer position.”
United Way provides training for all volunteers, no prior
experience is needed, and time commitments are flexible.
If you are interested in giving back to your community in this
way, dial 2-1-1 or email
krystal.steuer@unitedwaytoledo.org.
