Helping Families Get the Most Out of Tax Time
Make Tax
Time Pay News
E4C is pleased to announce the completion of another successful Make Tax Time Pay campaign year. With the help of over 250 volunteers, 22 community groups,and multiple partners we have helped many low-income people in Edmonton with income tax preparation and benefit application assistance. E4C’s Make Tax Time Pay is a success because of the committed volunteers that continue to support our program each year. To thank our volunteers we hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Event on Friday, May 14th, 2010. We had over half the volunteers in attendance and had a wonderful evening – thank you to everyone who came & shared their stories – it was a true inspiration!
