Volunteer opportunity

The American Association of Retired Persons and Claremont Senior Program are looking for volunteers to help aging folks prepare their 2022 taxes.

Interested volunteers should call (909) 399-5488 for enrollment details. The organizations will be helping seniors complete their tax forms at the Joslyn Center, 660 N. Mountain Ave., Claremont.
