Urban League of Greater Chattanooga (Chattanooga, TN) and community partners launched the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, an annual initiative that provides free tax preparation for qualifying individuals and families throughout the greater Chattanooga region.

 “The VITA program is critical for individuals and families who would otherwise face significant difficulties navigating the tax process,” said Urban League President and CEO, Candy Johnson. “We know tax preparation can be very confusing to navigate, particularly for our disadvantaged residents. We deeply appreciate our community partners and dedicated volunteers for assisting thousands of individuals and families through what can be a daunting process.”
