CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -
University of Virginia students are making a direct economic impact on low-income households this tax season.
Student volunteers with Creating Assets, Savings & Hope (CASH) have been working with individuals making under $57,000 a year in the Charlottesville area to maximize their returns. The organization partners with United Way and Cville Tax Aide.
“We collaborate with United Way, who helps us get all of the documents from clients, and then volunteers work in teams every week go through the returns, review them twice for accuracy, and then communicate with the client about what their return and refund status is,” CASH volunteer Amanda Hedgecock said.
