Surprise! About $1,550.00 Just For You!
Our team of parishioners who do simple Income Tax Returns for people in our area, relayed this story of an elderly lady who was told she didn't have to file federal taxes. And then when she learned about our St. Francis tax program and began to understand the notion of possibly receiving a small refund her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree! Her apprehension quickly turned to motivation. She was a homeowner and eligible for the State of Michigan Homestead Property Tax Credit. We were able to file for her for a period of 3 years and help her get about $1,000 in refunds. Every year she continues to receive refunds. She told her volunteer that if she received a refund she could get her car fixed and help her daughter and grandchild financially. When the appointment was done she walked away wiping tears from her eyes. She looked at the volunteer hugged her and said "I can't believe you are helping me, I wish there were more programs like this in the world."
Imagine helping over 100 clients, get a total of over $155,000 in tax refunds! That is an average of about $1,550.00 for each client/family. At St. Francis Parish Office a TEAM of parishioners experienced and trained in doing simple Income Tax Returns, volunteer their time to assist individuals in need, with limited income file tax forms on Saturday mornings February - April.
Our current parish office is not large enough for all the volunteers and clients who seek to be a part of our ministry. Every year for the past 15-20 years we have sent away clients because of our limited space. A new ministry center with parish offices would increase our great ministry impact helping those who live in poverty right here.
