Center for Economic Progress (CEP) has free tax sites in 15 communities throughout Illinois. Each year, we help nearly 20,000 people file their taxes and get all the tax credits they’ve earned and refunds they’re owed. Our free tax sites are more than a place to get your taxes done. At most sites, you’ll be able to open a bank account, learn ways to save for the future, and better manage your money.

Women Build Clinics Announced

The exciting November 3rd launch of the 2013 Women Build is in the books! Women from all over the south suburbs came out in droves to participate in what will be our 25th anniversary as an affiliate. Now we are ready to roll up our sleeves and take the next step to provide a safe, decent and affordable home to a partner family in need. We have released the four (4) dates in February where women will participate and receive instruction at the Lowe’s Clinics held at their Orland Park, Illinois store.

Clinics scheduled for the month of February, 2013 include:
02/09/13 – How to Use Hand and Power Tools
02/16/13 – How to install exterior siding
02/23/13 – How to Install Insulation and Drywall
03/02/13 – How to Finish Interior with paint and trim

Clinics will start at 1:00pm and end at 3:00pm.

Volunteers, sponsors and donations are needed. Volunteers can be individual women or teams. We invite civic groups and organization, company teams, groups of friends or family members to participate. There are a variety of sponsorship options associated with the WOMEN BUILD which determines the number of women allowed on the site per day and how many days. Please refer to the Sponsorship Level document for more information.
