I am delighted to report that despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, the CSUN VITA Clinic has managed to continue to thrive by training over 220 student volunteers and serving almost 6,000 taxpayers. Our student volunteers and staff have demonstrated the highest level of resiliency and commitment to low-income taxpayers in our community during these difficult times.

Over the past 50 years in operation, the CSUN VITA Clinic had to endure many unpredictable challenges. But none of those prior experiences truly prepared us for the monumental test of confronting a global pandemic, while striving to maintain access to vital services for so many low-income taxpayers who have come to rely on us each year. Read the full message.
