Volunteer: AARP Tax-Aide Volunteers

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, which suspended operations in Delaware County two years ago as the pandemic worsened, is preparing to return this winter and is looking for volunteers to help restart the service.

The all-volunteer program provides free, no-strings-attached, income tax preparation to anyone, but places a special emphases on serving senior citizens. Before the shutdown, Tax-Aid volunteers prepared tax returns for more than 1,000 residents each year in Delaware, Sunbury, and Orange Township and had just expanded into Ashley.

Volunteers provide a calm and reassuring hand to people who are often fretful about filing their return, 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.

For more information, please go to aarpfoundation.org/taxaidevolunteer, 1-888-227-7669 or email DelawareOhioTaxAide@gmail.com.
