LEO is committed to the financial empowerment of our community. At the heart of our programming is VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance), which offers year-round assistance to low-income households, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those navigating the challenges of limited English proficiency. Beyond LEO’s well-established VITA program, we provide comprehensive support services including; tax education, guidance for parents through BabySteps, FAFSA, budgeting, savings, and credit counseling. Our multifaceted initiatives empower individuals to take control of their finances and strengthen their financial well-being.
