AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Spotlight: Boston

With just seven weeks ‘til Tax Day, we visited the South End branch of the Boston Public Library and sat down with a fabulous group of AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers. Led by enthusiastic local coordinator Peggy Wood, these folks are smart, dedicated, and committed to helping those in the South End community.

A heartfelt thank you to volunteers Peggy, Bob Sherwood, and Alice Eisenberg; and client David Lee.
