Putnam County Tax Appointment Greeters and Screeners

Hudson Valley CA$H is a coalition of community partners representing libraries, human service agencies, local government, businesses, faith-based organizations, and volunteers. Together with the IRS and AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, this program aims to promote financial stability for individuals in Putnam, Orange, and Dutchess Counties. The primary mission of the CA$H Coalition is to provide free, reliable tax preparation assistance to low- to moderate-income residents so they can receive all the credits they are entitled to and keep every penny of their tax refund. Many depend on their refund to keep up with their rent, make a necessary car repair, or pay down their credit card. For many of our neighbors, their tax refund might be the biggest check they receive all year.

The United Way of Westchester and Putnam is looking for volunteers to greet clients and perform an initial check to ensure that they have the correct documentation for their tax appointments. Volunteers will also help complete initial intake forms as part of the Hudson Valley CA$H program.
