Volunteer Income Tax Assistance event volunteers needed
Young lawyer volunteers needed! YLD’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Committee will be assisting with VITA events throughout the state. Volunteers will receive training, conducted by the IRS, to provide free tax preparation for households with low-to-moderate incomes. If you are interested in volunteering at one of the Greenville, Charleston or Columbia area events or would like more information, contact Adam Landy at alandy@mcnair.net.

Help Cinderella get to the ball
YLD is collecting gently worn formal, bridesmaid and prom dresses for young women who lack the financial resources to buy a gown for their high school prom. Evening bags, jewelry, shoes and other accessories are also needed. Students will be invited to attend boutiques held in the spring to "shop" for a dress and other items at no cost. For the complete list of drop-off locations and boutique information, click here.
