When you file your state income tax return, you can also make a difference in the lives of Iowa’s children. Under “contributions,” donate a portion of your tax return or include an amount in addition to what you owe to Child Abuse Prevention. All proceeds go to Iowa community-based programs that educate and support families. In Ringgold County, your donation will help support the Parents as Teachers Program. Services such as these ensure that more children grow up safe, nurtured and empowered to reach their full potential. Learn more at www.checkoffchildabuseiowa.org.
