    I enjoy the [PAT] program because I get to connect with the people who work at Tri County Community Action and other parents.

Our Impact This Year

Everything we do is aimed at disrupting and permanently breaking the cycle of poverty for everyone living in our community. 

Did you know that right now, 51,419 of your neighbors, friends, co-workers, and family members are economically insecure? 

Last year, 38% of the people we helped were working and providing the sole source of income for their households - 63% were women, and 51% of households had children in the home. These were and are hard-working, caring, and productive members of our community - they are YOU - and we helped 17,624 of you stabilize, sustain, and take steps toward economic independence.

The Money in Your Pocket (MIYP) campaign is a community collaboration of organizations led by United Way of the capital Region that is committed to the economic stability of local families. Volunteers prepare computerized, electronic returns through the Internal Revenue Service's Volunteer Tax Income Assistance (VITA) program, which is designed to provide low-to-moderate income working families with help completing federal and state returns along with obtaining credits for which they are eligible.

Every Tuesday beginning January 28th - April 15, 2020, individuals and families who make $56,000 or less are eligible to have their taxes prepared for free by trained volunteers, at our Derry Street location, 1514 Derry Street, Harrisburg.
