United Way's Erie FREE Taxes is on the search for volunteer tax preparers for the upcoming tax season. No experience is required! 

It's that time of year again! Students are packing up their dorms and heading home or to next year's living space. Why not donate those items you don't want to take with you to the annual Trash to Treasure sale, located at Erie Hall at Penn State Behrend on May 15 from 7:30AM to Noon.

United Way of Erie County’s Erie FREE Taxes program is in urgent need of community members interested in becoming IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers for the 2021 tax filing season. 

Are you interested in helping tax fliers in our community without it costing a fortune? If you could, would you give them the chance to save for a future emergency fund or their child's education?

When volunteering with Erie FREE Taxes, a program funded through United Way of Erie County, you are giving community members a better chance to succeed and save, rather than spend, when it comes to their taxes!

Volunteer-dependent organizations in Erie County are running low on volunteers. That’s why United Way has partnered with Erie County Government and ServErie to connect interested individuals with available volunteer opportunities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic through the PA 211 Helpline website PA211NW.org.
