The Port Orchard office of Liberty Tax Services hosted a five-state summit of the company Dec. 16 and 17.

Local franchise owners, Ken and Julie Wilkinson earned the distinction last year of being Liberty Tax Services’ “No.1 Entity for Production” in the nation. The Wilkinsons shared their local fundraising initiative to raise $10,000 for local non-profit organizations through the “Send-a-Friend” referral program.

Liberty Tax Service has other offices in East Bremerton, Silverdale, and Poulsbo, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Kitsap Mall during the tax season.
