The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), provides FREE tax prep for low to moderate income in Wichita Falls and the surrounding areas. This past tax season, we had over a $5 MILLION dollars in refunds and saved $856,447 in prep fees. This ALL went straight back into our community. This was accomplished by our amazing volunteers and lots of hard work.
We completed 3,392 tax returns, impacting over 5,000 individuals in our community. The average overall income was raised from $26,440 to $27,450. That is an average of $1,010 per client that walked through our doors. Please help the VITA program to continue this essential and inexpensive service to our community. Please join and support us as we continue to make an effort for lasting and sustainable change in our community!

Everyone knows about 9-1-1. But few people know about 211, the nationwide service for non-emergency life challenges. Right now as more people need help during this global crisis, they might not know where to turn. The answer is 211.

It’s all because when people contact 211 they get caring, expert help. The real people—trained 211 specialists—on the other end of the 24/7 hotline identify the root causes of a client’s problems and connect them to local resources such as:
Housing
