More About the Community Tax Program
Alternatives' Community Tax Program has been offering free tax preparation services since 2003.  To date we've prepared over 10,000 tax returns for working families and individuals and returned over $18 million in refunds to our local community.

Our goal is to help all eligible workers claim the credits they deserve (without paying high fees) and to help them turn those refunds into financial assets.

You can learn more about getting free tax assistance or volunteering from our website, or call 216-3459 for more information.

To help us spread the word, see our outreach page.

Robert Berkley, Your Daily Soup

A few years ago, Robert took a realistic look at business growth and decided he needed a financial boost for expansion. He owns his home, free and clear, and decided a Home Improvement Loan was a good choice to get the funds he needed. "I had to get all new kitchen appliances; everything from a stove to a microwave- and a new roof also."

"Alternatives made it so easy- I felt like they answered my questions before I even asked them." Robert says of his experience. "I was already in a good place with my business. I just needed to get to the next level. Without the loan from Alternatives I couldn't have done it. I was able to make the home improvements I needed, and have money to buy the necessary equipment to expand my business to include ice cream and sorbet."
