AARP Foundation Tax Aide Program has finished a third successful year of providing a valuable service to the low income Spanish speaking community in the Denver metro area. Located at Centro San Juan Diego a community center of the Denver Archdiocese, the Tax Aide site is the only one in the state focused primarily on serving Spanish monolinguals. Volunteer tax preparers at the site provided tax preparation services to approximately 230 clients this tax season almost double the number served during the first year the site opened.
