Dear neighbors, United Way need your help to recruit 104 more volunteer tax preparers for the 2018 tax season *by January 7!* Volunteers provide an invaluable service that helps households get the tax returns they’ve earned, so that they can keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. Here’s how you can help United Way’s Free Tax Prep Campaign meet the needs of 10,000+ working families in Southwestern Pennsylvania who use the service each year: 1. Make tax time easier for low-income families in our community by volunteering as a tax preparer during the tax season. Training is provided to volunteers to prepare them to help hard-working households receive the maximum refund possible. No prior experience necessary. *Learn more or sign up at **swpafreetaxes.org* <http://bit.ly/2ko8dSs>*.* 2. Do you have friends who might be interested in volunteering? Forward this email and encourage them to get involved. Also, remember to invite your friends that are Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), attorneys, or enrolled agents because they can receive credit for serving with this program. 3. Post this story on your social media accounts <http://bit.ly/2nzqQUW>, asking your network to take action to help people like Sara, a woman whose tax refunds allowed her to keep a roof over her family’s heads last year. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a real difference this tax season. Sincerely, Megan Rose 916 Wellesley
