Big thank you to Genesis Center's VITA site coordinators Niurka (right) and Kayla (left)--they just wrapped up a tax season helping low-moderate income individuals file their income taxes for free with the help of trained volunteers. Together, Genesis and the other members of the Providence VITA Coalition served over 3,500 tax filers and returned over $7.5 million dollars back into the local economy. Thanks to United Way of Rhode Island and Federal Hill House Association for leading the Providence Coalition and our IRS representative Meg (pictured in this photo) for her tireless advocacy for VITA and the Coalition
