2020 will be the Volunteer Tax and Loan Program’s (VTLP) twenty-fifth anniversary. The program has grown tremendously since VTLP’s pilot year, expanding from reaching just 185 people in 7 villages to over 8,200 taxpayers in 160 communities. Thank you to the staff, volunteers and partners who have ensured the program’s success throughout the years.
