Testimonials

Marian was the exact fit volunteer for our task. She was incredible! She took a daunting task and ran with it. Not only did she help me to find the perfect vendor but she also connected me with other volunteers to help provide additional support.

Vendor Management Assessment Project

I was so happy to volunteer for a great cause that used my professional skills. For a first experience I don't think it could have gone better. Jill, the Executive Director, was fantastic to work with. The project was interesting and was paced to fit my busy life. I'm planning on volunteering again to help Tax Aid with more projects just as soon as I have a little more free time.
