United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ) and the Campaign for Working Families (CWF) kicked off the 2019 tax season and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) by opening more than 30 tax preparation sites across the region.
“At United Way, we’re on a mission to end intergenerational poverty and empower our community’s youth and families by giving them the resources they need to thrive,” said Bill Golderer, president and CEO of UWGPSNJ. “Through programs like VITA, we help put additional dollars back into the pockets of our families living paycheck-to-paycheck, so they are able to pay down debt, save for a home or continue their education. Thanks to our Impact partners like the Campaign for Working Families, we’re helping more people than we ever could on our own.”
