United Way of Saginaw County honored and celebrated 46 volunteer tax preparers at a luncheon on Tuesday. The volunteers, who donated their time during the tax season, were honored for their hard work of preparing taxes. Through the United Way run VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program, individuals who cannot afford to pay to have their taxes prepared can visit one of the six VITA sites and have a fully trained volunteer prepare their taxes for free.
During the 2008 tax year, the 46 Saginaw County VITA volunteers spent more than 3,000 hours helping 2,516 clients and completed more than 5,000 returns.
Pictured are just a few of the many dedicated volunteers.
