The VITA program, operating for over 50 years, offers free tax help to low-income individuals, with each center managed by 44 dedicated IRS-certified volunteers.  

BCOC, the leading anti-poverty organization in Bucks County, also offers programs in housing, food, weatherization, and economic self-sufficiency, aiming to end poverty by connecting people with essential resources.
