Volunteering for VITA can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Not only

is volunteering a great way to give back to your community in a meaningful 

way, but also a wonderful way to learn a new skill. For each hour a volunteer

contributes - $1,800 in refunds are brought back to your community.

 

With your support, we can help more families with free VITA services and

ensure they have a safe, secure filing with Free Tax Prep LA.
