When a Free File volunteer wears a branded t-shirt, it makes them easily identifiable to tax payers, and helps them feel like they are a part of a team.

$100: PATHWAYS SAVINGS MATCH

Saving for a rainy day is often a new concept for Pathways financial coaching participants. Coaches help every participant set a goal of setting aside at least $100 in emergency savings.
