I was a volunteer tax preparer at VCCA (nee RSVP) for 15 years. The organization recruits and trains volunteers to assist the public (primarily low income and seniors) with taxes and a variety of other needs. VCCA prepares and e-files current and prior year taxes year round, both federal and state. VCCA also hosts Lunch & Learn forums, which are conducted by municipal &/or social leaders, who address cultural, financial, health, safety and other community needs. The Project Director, who has led the program for 20 years, is the only paid employee. The Board ensures grants and donations are used to support the neediest in the community.
