Walk to Defeat ALS
The chair of the Huntsville ALS Walk needs ten people to work
registration on August 21, 2011. The walk will be held at Joe Davis
Stadium from 9:00am to 12:00 noon. Lunch will be provided for
volunteers and walkers.
If you can join us, please let Florence Royer know immediately, so she
can e-mail names and addresses to the chair. The chair will send out
information and instructions about a week before the event.
CASH – Creating Assets, Savings and Hope
United Way of Madison County has a partnership with AARP and Impact
Alabama entitled CASH – Creating Assets, Savings and Hope. This is a
free tax preparation service to families with household incomes less than
$49,000.
Last year, the program provided help to 524 families! CASH was formed
to help these families in several ways:
1) Free tax preparation saves each family an average of $250.00 in fees.
2) Many families do not know they are eligible for tax credits such as the
Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit.
3) The CASH program helps families receive their refunds fast so that
Refund Anticipation Loans with high interest rates can be avoided.
The CASH program is implemented by volunteers and supervised by
United Way of Madison County staff. Volunteers staff the United Way of
Madison County office on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and
throughout the day on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from late
January through April.
Please consider volunteering your time. Volunteers will work shifts that
accommodate their own work and personal schedules. If you are
interested in serving as a volunteer, contact Fariba Tabarrok to sign up
for the required training.
