Thank you to our volunteers!!!
"It's a really rewarding experience… it's a free service, and it's done with a high level of care."
“I’ve been using this tax site for the last three years. Every volunteer is so nice and helpful. Everybody does such a good job and I like that this service is provided. I wouldn’t get my taxes done without it!”
“The volunteer made doing my taxes “painless”. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. This was my first experience with The Women’s Building and I would definitely return.”
