Looking to make a difference in the lives of seniors right in your own community?

Orland Township is recruiting volunteers to assist local senior residents with filing simple tax returns online.

If you are looking for an opportunity to help older adults in your community, the Township hopes that you will join them.

Volunteers need not have any formal training in accounting.

All that is required is familiarity with the elements of an individual tax return, computer literacy, and the desire to support friends and neighbors in need of some assistance.
