Give warmth this holiday season!
Thanks to your continuous support, the Kids in Coats reserve fund currently holds over $20,000.
Kids in Coats is 100% funded by YOU, the community! 100% of all donations are given back to the community. Use your phone’s camera to scan the code to donate!
For the upcoming fiscal year, United Way of Windham County partnered with Ethiopian Community Development Council and Community Asylum Seekers Project to deliver no-cost tax preparation services to their clients who are majority refugees and asylum seekers. The refugee population, of mostly Afghan descent, had never filed a tax return nor had been provided with tax education.
With the help of many volunteers and case management, UWWC assisted in filing 42 federal and state returns that yielded $118k in federal returns and $41k in state returns. Earned income credits totaled $67k. The money that came back to families was used to purchase cars, pay rents, and further familial assets. Along with the money allocated locally came tax education. We would very much like to thank our volunteers and look forward to the coming tax season!
