Our Stories
  • “When you read with a child over the course of a school year and spend time with them, you can see the changes and the growth taking place in them.  You see the smiles; you see their self-esteem increase; you can’t buy that sort of experience.”

    Ray Yori
    UNITED55+ Volunteer
  • “Many people are scared of taxes, but having done my own, and working with numbers all my life, it (volunteering for VITA) was no big deal for me. The clients are SO grateful for the help.  It’s very gratifying to have a client come back year after year and ask that I help them again.”
