Community Action Partnership has received a $45,000 grant to expand an education program targeting low-income taxpayers.
The grant, which comes from American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds, is intended to increase awareness of the earned income tax credit among low-income families in Bakersfield and now six outlying Kern County communities: Arvin, Delano, Frazier Park, McFarland, Shafter and Taft.
