Volunteers Needed: Help CHOP Families Claim Their Tax Refunds

Posted by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia on November 11, 2025

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s (CHOP) Medical Financial Partnership (MFP) offers high-quality financial services to help families build wealth and improve their health. MFP is seeking volunteers to support CHOP families in filing their tax returns!

MFP partners with Campaign for Working Families, Inc. and the IRS’s VITA program (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) to provide free tax preparation for families who generally make $67,000 or less, persons with disabilities, and limited English-speaking taxpayers. Tax credits can mean thousands of dollars in parents’ pockets to help meet their children’s needs! To date, MFP has garnered over $2.4 million in refunds for community members!

Have you ever left a volunteer shift and wondered if you made a difference? Serve as a tax preparer KNOW that you are improving people’s financial wellbeing! Not comfortable preparing someone’s taxes? Serve as a “greeter” to share information about the tax prep process, help families fill out paperwork, and support the tax preparers. Training for both roles is provided! Tax site is close to campus and we offer free septa passes for transportation!

Volunteer shifts run January 26-April 12, 2026, Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.  A commitment of 1 shift per week is preferred.
