The United Way of the Wine Country, in partnership with trusted community organizations across five counties, is recruiting volunteers for the Earn It! Keep It! $ave It! (EKS) – VITA Free Tax Assistance Program for the upcoming tax season.
Volunteers will train in January and early February and serve February through April, helping low- to moderate-income individuals and families access free tax preparation and financial resources. Last tax season alone, volunteers helped return $9 million in state and federal refunds to local residents, with over $110 million returned over time—including support for first-time filers and ITIN applications and renewals.
Volunteer Roles Needed
New and returning volunteers are welcome. All volunteers must complete registration through the EKS volunteer portal. Free training and materials are provided for new volunteers.
