Volunteers needed to help prepare taxes |
|
If you have experience preparing your own tax return
and are comfortable with computers, we need you!
Your volunteer time once a week can literally put
money back in the pockets of low-income working
people to pay for food, rent and other basic needs.
Volunteers will be certified by the IRS. Weekday,
weeknight and weekend hours are available.
Speakers of Spanish, Korean and Russian
languages are especially needed. Contact Lark
Kesterke, United Way Financial Stability Coordinator at
425.374.5506 or
lark.kesterke@uwsc.org.
