The t-shirt in the first photo says it all! These The t-shirt in the first photo says it all! These amazing San Diegans are VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) volunteers from our San Diego County (Earned Income Tax Credit) EITC Coalition.

Over the past 25 years, these IRS-certified volunteers have helped low- to moderate-income neighbors prep their taxes for free, returning millions in refunds to our community!

With 1 in 3 working San Diegans currently struggling to make ends meet, this free tax prep and these refunds are a lifeline. UWSD is deeply honored to lead this coalition, working alongside 50 organizations and hundreds of volunteers committed to making a difference.

Scroll to see photos from our recent EITC celebration to close out the tax season and honor the hard work of our dedicated volunteers.
