Foundation Communities Needs Tax Help Volunteers
We’re ready for another tax season at Foundation Communities, and we can’t do it without you! Each year hundreds of volunteers in our Tax Help program provide free tax preparation services to 20,000 low-income households in the community, resulting in over $35 million in refunds returned to the local economy.
As the 2022 tax season approaches, we can use all the help we can get—we’ll need over 600 volunteers this year to meet our clients’ needs. As a reminder, no experience is required. We will provide all the training you need to become certified and will continue to support you with on-site staff throughout the tax season. Getting involved begins with a visit to ~Foundation Communities

Help Bring the Word to Life Thorugh Worship!
-
This is Your Personal Invitiaton!
Please support the way we bring the Word to our time and place. Our priests need your help at Mass on Saturday evening and Sundays to serve as Greeters, Ushers, Lectors, and Eucharistic Ministers (EM). Consider helping:
-
As a Greeter or Usher - we'd never ask anyone to do anything that might feel unsafe or uncomfortable, but welcoming worshippers to Mass can be accomplished without contact and at a safe distance.
-
As a Lector or EM - if you've previously served and are trained, please let us know that you'd like to help by emailing us at Liturgy@StAustin.org or use the new form at the Worship page to let us know that you'd like to go onto the schedule.

Greeters Needed for Mass! As more people return to Mass, the need for help welcoming people and showing them to a seat is rising and we would appreciate some extra help!
