VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR VITA

Volunteers are needed to help other people with their tax returns in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program sponsored by East Missouri Action Agency in Cape County.

Volunteers provide free assistance to taxpayers who cannot afford professional tax help, particularly those who file basic tax returns. Volunteers assist those with special needs, including persons with disabilities, non-English speaking persons and older taxpayers.

VITA assistance is provided in neighborhoods at libraries, community centers, schools and malls which are conveniently located for taxpayers.

Persons interested in participating in the VITA program should contact Kevin Sexton at (573) 334-5533.
