PathwaysPA Tax Program
Tuesday, January 9th

Join us at the J. Lewis Crozer Library to find out about free tax preparation services through the VITA* program from PathwaysPA.

In addition to being local and free for qualifying individuals, PathwaysPA representatives will also discuss how to file for the Earned Income Tax Credit. Unfortunately, many people do not take advantage of this important tax credit. For example, a single person with one child can earn up to $32,001 per year and be eligible for a tax credit of up to $2,747! Find out how PathwaysPA and the VITA Proram will help you get all of the credits that you are entitled to!

The Covenant with Black America, with an introduction by Tavis Smiley

Six years' worth of symposiums come together in this rich collection of essays that plot a course for African Americans, explaining how individuals and households can make changes that will immediately improve their circumstances in areas ranging from health and education to crime reduction and financial well-being.

Each chapter outlines one key issue and provides a list of resources, suggestions for action, and a checklist for what concerned citizens can do to keep their communities progressing socially, politically, and economically. Though the African American community faces devastating social disparities—in which more than 8 million people live in poverty—this celebration of possibility, hope, and strength will help leaders and citizens keep Black America moving forward.
