Jackson Hewitt Announces Fundraising Program For Area Charities

Nov. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Americans are known for their generosity and local organizations can be the beneficiary of a new fundraising program from Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® .

The Lend-a-Hand (LAH) program is a special no-cost promotion in which nonprofit organizations, schools, churches, civic groups and other community service organizations are provided with specially marked discount coupons which can be redeemed at participating Jackson Hewitt locations for $30.00 off of individual tax preparation services.  For each customer who redeems one of the specially marked coupons, the local Jackson Hewitt office will donate $5.00 to the qualifying organization.  Jackson Hewitt has participating offices in Whiteville, Chadbourn, Tabor City, Shallotte, Rocky Point, Burgaw, Kenansville, Warsaw, Beulaville, Wallace, and Pink Hill.  Call 1-800-407-8051 for the location nearest to you.

Organizations interested in participating in the 2011 Lend-a-Hand program must preregister prior to December 31, 2010.  Organizations are not required to have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, but must provide a federal tax identification number and serve a religious, educational, charitable, or community service purpose.

For those organizations interested in learning more about the program, a free one-hour informative online webinar will be held on Monday, December 20, 2010 at 1:00 p.m.  Register for the webinar or the program at www.jhlendahand.com (click on income tax prep).
