AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Spotlight: Lowell

With one month 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 north to the  Lowell Senior Center to visit with site coordinator Harry Gong and his team of volunteers.   Though many were a bit 'camera-shy', we talked to several clients, who expressed their appreciation for all AARP Foundation Tax-Aide does to help them year in and year out.

Clients Mr. and Mrs. George Agrella put it best, "The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program makes getting our taxes done a breeze, no doubt!"
