Posted by Staff on Thursday, February 16, 2023

UPDATED with additional information - Appointments offered February 21-March 30

By Paula Scott

Call 419-772-2075 to schedule an appointment

Ada Area Chamber of Commerce members learned about a free tax preparation opportunity for filers with income under $60,000, the ONU Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Interns Tyler Calhoun and Becca Marxsman provided attendees at the February 15 chamber meeting with an overview of the program. 

Working with site coordinator Dr. Dexter Woods, five interns serve as the leaders of a group of more than thirty students who assist individuals with their taxes. Each year these volunteers help prepare federal, state, and school district returns for between 250-300 clients including retirees, students and international residents from Ada and surrounding communities.

The student tax preparers are trained to use tax preparation software and are IRS-certified to help prepare basic and intermediate tax returns. The internship fulfills a requirement for graduation from the Dicke College of Business Administration.

Appointments will be offered February 21 through March 30. Hours are 5:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. To make an appointment, call 419-772-2075.

Monthly presentations by ONU student groups are planned for future chamber meetings.

United Way forming campaign cabinet and seeking board members

Posted by Staff on Monday, February 13, 2023

The Hardin County United Way provided the Icon with this February update:

We are creating a robust Campaign Cabinet to help plan and implement this year’s Annual Giving Campaign. Duties will include helping to find and reach out to businesses to host workplace campaigns, helping to train points of contact at their workplaces, helping to plan and execute events, and having a general passion for helping our community. The goal is to make this more focused on community member involvement than just having a couple of Board members. Meetings will start off once per month but will end up being more as needed to help the campaign.

We have about 6-8 open seats on the board of directors. We’re looking for connected, active, and passionate community members to help steer the United Way into our future while also doing the work needed to get there. Meetings are once per month for about an hour, and there will also be committee work as needed. The only requirement to be on the Board is to donate to the United Way at least annually.
