Volunteers Needed to Provide Tax Assistance to Those in Need

September 24, 2024
Support Advice

Time to spare, ideas to share, energy to make an impact? The principle of donating time and energy for the benefit of other people as a social responsibility rather than for financial reward is longstanding. VOLUNTEERISM counts!

Norwescap, in collaboration with United Way, invites community members to join its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and families in Warren and Sussex Counties. Gearing up for the 2024-25 tax season, Norwescap and United Way are calling on community members to consider becoming volunteers. Any adult with a passion for helping others is welcome, no tax expertise required. The impact of one’s involvement goes beyond numbers — it helps individuals and families access the tax credits they deserve.

The Norwescap Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program has been a cornerstone of community support through financial empowerment for many years. It was established to provide free tax assistance to individuals and families with limited income, seniors and disabled persons, ensuring they receive the full spectrum of tax credits they deserve. 

What is Norwescap Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program?

VITA is a community service that assists individuals and families in navigating the complexities of the tax system.

Who Can Volunteer?

Volunteers for VITA play a pivotal role in providing free tax preparation services to low-income individuals. Ostenfeld said, “If you have a passion for making a positive impact and a desire to support others in your community, you are the perfect candidate. You just need a willingness to help and a commitment to making a difference.” Volunteers contribute to the financial well-being of their neighbors and help foster a sense of community resilience.

Norwescap, a leader in community services, and United Way, a powerhouse of philanthropy, have joined forces for many years to serve New Jersey communities. Mark Valli, CEO, Norwescap, reinforced the need for VITA saying, “This dynamic partnership ensures that the VITA program reaches those who need it most, making a lasting impact on the financial health of our community.”

Ready to be a catalyst for change in your community? Sign up to be a Norwescap VITA Volunteer today! Training is provided, and your dedication will make a real difference in the lives of others. To join this community-driven initiative, visit Norwescap.org today or contact Rochelle Ostenfeld at ostenfeldr@norwescap.org.
