Free Income Tax Help

VITA, or Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, is a United Way-run program that offers free tax help to the ALICE members of Collier and Monroe Counties, bringing real money back into the hands of our neighbors in need.

United Way of Collier and the Keys is proud to celebrate another impactful year for our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program.
