Local Resources

The city of Winnemucca has won a 2018 AARP Community Challenge Grant to improve an intergenerational park and trail system.

In what has become a welcomed yearly resource, the AARP Foundation is again providing free tax assistance and preparation for taxpayers with low to moderate income through the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, in its 49th year, is the nation’s largest free tax assistance and preparation service, giving special attention the older population.  You do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use this service.

 

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is the nation’s largest free, volunteer-run tax assistance and preparation program and we’re recruiting volunteers in Nevada to assist in the 2017 tax season.

The Nevada State Contactors Board (NSCB), in partnership with state legislators and state agency representatives, is hosting four Senior Awareness Programs in Las Vegas, Boulder City, and Carson City in the next month. The events are free of charge and will highlight a variety of scams that target seniors, help seniors identify the warning signs provide tips and tools to help seniors protect themselves, as well as offering resource information on where to report incidents of abuse.
