Danbury, CT (April, 2026) — State and local leaders joined community partners and residents today at The Community Action Agency of Western Connecticut to highlight the impact of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program, a collaborative effort delivering free, high-quality tax preparation services to working families across the region.
Last week we joined advocates, families, providers, and legislators at the Capitol to advance solutions to Connecticut’s affordability crisis.
We called for funding for the Endowment, eliminating the Care 4 Kids waitlist, and a Child Tax Credit for 550,000 children. Our Food Farmacy was also featured as a model for food as medicine in action.
Grateful to stand alongside partners and legislative champions moving these priorities forward.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Hartford and spoke up for ensuring every child has access to healthy school meals—your voices matter.
