Volunteer Income Tax Assistance The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who generally make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities, and limited English speaking tax payers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filling to qualified individuals. The VITA MINISTRY is a great tool to reach our community with the message of hope through Jesus Christ by assisting those who need help in filing their tax returns. We officially did 232 tax returns for the 2017 tax year. All clients were presented with the gospel, but salvations were reported. We did give out several Bibles and all the clients were very appreciative of this service. Submitted by, Linda Finnell 24
