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.

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.

Should consumers foot the bill for free lunches and other perks that drug companies give prescribers? AARP says, no.
