St. Vincent de Paul Louisville (SVDP) is providing an opportunity for its clients to get their tax returns completed. In partnership with the Louisville Asset Building Coalition (LABC), SVDP will be hosting the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) services in the Family Success Center from Jan. 23 to April 10. The hours are Mondays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., as well as Wednesdays from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. VITA services were created to help hardworking families capitalize on the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and other tax credits they are eligible for. The LABC works with the IRS and VITA to provide free income tax preparation for families with household incomes up to $66,000. In addition, the Tax-A-Thon will be held at the FSC on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 3-4, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Julio Anthony, SVDP’s interim Associate Director of Community Supports, said he’s hoping to get as many people as possible to use these free services, especially those who can walk from a nearby neighborhood. “We have a huge block surrounding our St. Vincent de Paul Louisville campus, so I’m excited to get people in the door not only for the VITA and Tax-A-Thon services, but also connect them to our other great events and programs in the future,” Anthony said.
