LIFE has recently become an Ohio Benefit Bank (OBB) site. The OBB is a partnership between state government, social service agencies and faith-based organization designed to help eligible Ohioans apply for the benefits to which they are entitled. For more information on the Benefit Bank in general, visit. www.obb.ohio.gov. We have trained counselors that can assist clients in applying for Medicaid, Food Stamps, Child Care Assistance, Heating/Energy Assistance and more. In addition, we've just added tax preparation to our services. For eligible clients, LIFE counselors can file taxes for free, and generally get the client any refund within 7 days. This avoids the predatory "refund anticipation loan" operations that many working poor use for tax assistance each year. To learn more, contact the pantry at 513-583-8222 and leave a message for Carolyn Hauger.
