DotWell CivicHealth is nearly two weeks into its 2008 tax season, but we still need volunteers to help on weeknights. I'm pitching a final plea for you--people who live and work in Dorchester-- to help us. February is the busiest month of tax prep and many of our taxpayers and volunteers have been staying late into the night because even though we have more volunteers than last year, the taxpayer turnout has been enormous.
This is a critical time for us--it is hard on working families when they have to wait several hours to get their taxes prepared. We have also had to turn some taxpayers away and ask them to return because we've been so busy. As staff of DotWell, Codman Square Health Center, and Dorchester House, I am begging you to help! Even if you can only help in February, that would be terrific.
If you cannot volunteer, please pass this email along to friends, family, and community members. There is still one more training left--this Saturday. You can sign up for this training at the following website:
