At the Killarney & Area Foodbank, we believe that everyone deserves access to reliable and accurate tax preparation services. Authorized by the Canada Revenue Agency, we are proud to offer this confidential, no-cost service to eligible Killarney and area residents through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP). A trained volunteer is available to assist you by appointment, and you are also welcome to drop off your information in person at the foodbank.
This program is designed to help seniors, newcomers, students, and low-income residents access all the benefits they are entitled to. Filing your tax return on time helps ensure those benefits reach you without delay.
Please note — you do not need to be a foodbank customer to use this free service. It is open to all eligible members of our community.
For current appointment availability and filing dates, please check back here regularly or contact us directly.
