In partnership, the City of Akron and United Way of Summit & Medina are proud to announce that the Financial Empowerment Center (FEC) has moved to a new, more accessible location in the heart of downtown Akron: 37 N. High Street, Akron, OH 44308, the current United Way building.

This move reflects the unwavering commitment to making it easier for individuals and families to access the tools they need to build stronger financial futures. Whether you’re working to reduce debt, improve your credit, build savings, or navigate your taxes, the Financial Empowerment Center is here to help, and is now more accessible than ever.

Free tax prep through our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program during the 2026 tax season will take place at this location.

Free parking is available around the square for Medina County appointments.

In our community. With our community. For our community.

Invest where it matters

Our system puts people at the center. We break down the barriers that prevent our neighbors from getting help by working in, with and for our community to build lasting solutions.
