HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – With the overall mission of empowering low-income individuals to be self-reliant, Pennyrile Allied Community Services is offering free tax services to the community.
Until April 12, people can visit senior centers across the Pennyrile area to file their simple income taxes for free. With priority given to people over the age of 65 and low-income individuals.
Josh Wilhelm, the Director of Benefits Enrollment and Volunteer Services with PACS, said the program has been in place at their facilities since the 90’s.
