What is the Campaign doing to promote long-term financial stability for its clients?
In addition to training volunteers to prepare and file tax returns, the Campaign trains volunteer Savings Promoters to help clients access other free financial resources, like CAAB’s Money Management 101 classes and credit counseling services. Savings Promoters may also pre-screen clients for Food Stamps eligibility and provide information on low-cost checking accounts, savings accounts, and debit cards that can be opened on-site to facilitate direct deposit of refunds.
