CA United Ways played a key role in establishing the CalEITC, one of the most powerful tools for reducing poverty in our state. This CalEITC Awareness Week, we celebrate progress and the role of these critical tax credits in helping work toward a California where all can thrive.

It's #CalEITC Awareness Week! State refundable tax credits like the CalEITC put more than $1 billion back in Californians' pockets each year, and free tax prep programs help connect eligible filers with these vital credits.

Amid the uncertainty and disruption that Congress and the presidential administration’s actions are causing, especially for our most vulnerable communities, it’s clear that California must further support 211 infrastructure statewide to make certain that all Californians have access.

During the longest federal government shutdown in American history, as 5.5 million Californians went weeks without critical SNAP (CalFresh) food assistance and other income supports, United Ways and 211s were there for Californians to help fill in the gaps.

Voting within a week of Election Day? It’s best to use a ballot drop-off box or vote in person at a vote center. If you mail your ballot, go inside the post office and ask to have it hand-stamped to ensure it’s postmarked by November 4.
