AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Spotlight: Framingham

With one week left to go, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers are busier than ever – helping thousands of Bay State residents with their tax returns and questions.  As part of our ongoing spotlight series, we headed to the South Middlesex Opportunity Council in Framingham, where we met volunteers TC Kung and his wife Shirley. As a team, TC and Shirley dealt with a group of clients young and 'older' and from varied backgrounds, garnered from the community's diverse population.

"I volunteer to help people, simple as that," said TC Kung.
