PROMOTE VITA

Help us spread the word about our VITA free tax prep program!

Volunteer and Client Outreach Resources

To help more taxpayers, we need your help to get the word out about our VITA program. Please use any of the following resources to help us recruit more volunteers and reach more clients. Thank you for your willingness to share VITA tax prep info with your clients, employees and neighbors.

We have a variety of marketing materials available to help you reach taxpayers. If you only need a small quantity (under 50 pieces), please print your materials in-house or pick them up from our office. If you need a larger amount, we can deliver or drop ship you the payroll stuffers.

We hope you can use the graphic blocks in social media or email blasts to reach people digitally.
