Needs From: Connections Volunteer Center

The Andrews House property is quite large and because we are located on a corner lot, we have a lot of outside space to maintain. We appreciate help with seasonal yard cleanup, weeding, trimming, leaf raking, planting, mulching, and maintaining garden beds.

This opportunity is seasonal and flexible. We have tools and equipment on-site but if you prefer to use your own that's fine too. 

Each year Andrews House hosts an AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Clinic. This event occurs in February but we do not yet have a date set for 2027.  

This all-volunteer program provides free, no-strings-attached, income tax preparation to anyone, but places a special emphasis on serving senior citizens.

In past years, volunteers have prepared tax returns for more than 1,000 residents in Delaware, Sunbury, Ashley, and Orange Township.

Volunteers provide a calm and reassuring hand to people who are often fretful about filing their return. They make sure clients receive every tax benefit to which they are entitled and save them the often-significant amount of money that private tax preparers charge.

Volunteers make a real, meaningful and measurable difference in the lives of the people they help.

Volunteers come from all walks of life, from accountants to warehouse workers. No experience is required. Tax-Aide provides training, a computer to work on, and mentorship throughout the tax season. No one works alone.
