Community Winterhelp

The Louisville Urban League is the fiscal manager for Community Winterhelp, Inc. which provides utility assistance to low-income families during the winter months. Services are provided through contracts with 18 area ministries in Jefferson County and three Community Action Agencies in outlying counties.

Funds for Community Winterhelp, Inc. come from the contributions of LG&E customers and are matched by LG&E.   Assistance is provided from January through April each year.

VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance)

The VITA Program offers free tax help to people with low-to-moderate income (generally, $42,000 and below) who cannot prepare their own federal and state tax returns.

The assistance, available through the Urban League, is a result of its partnership with the NABA (National Association of Black Accountants), the Guild and the Louisville Asset Building Coalition.
