Money is an important tool. It empowers people with resources so they can create the life they want.

The median household income in the U.S. was reported at $68,703. In Milwaukee, the median household income was more than 30% less at $41,838. Additionally, the 2020 U.S. Census reported over 25% of people in Milwaukee are living in poverty.

This is why we offer financial programs, to help Milwaukee residents move beyond poverty. And with the current COVID-19 pandemic and the unemployment rate reaching nearly 15% in Wisconsin in 2020, many people were forced to reflect on their financial habits as they struggled to maintain their lifestyles.

SDC has helped Milwaukee County residents keep more of their money during the tax season with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program. By helping taxpayers take advantage of credits like the child tax credit, SDC helps families increase their annual income through our free tax preparation service.

SDC is here to help.
