Tax assistance is available at the Campbell County Senior Center for those who need it.
“Every year we have Jon Lasham come in,” explains Senior Center Activities Director Becky Huff. “He works with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA).”
Huff says they give priority to area seniors when it comes to the tax preparing service.
Lasham says the VITA program has been running in Gillette for 20 years.
“I’ve been doing it for nine,” he says.
For local seniors who need help getting to the senior center for tax assistance, a donation from a local bank has taken care of that.
“This year we also got a contribution from Bank of the West,” Huff says. “Those monies will help pay for transportation for seniors getting to and from the center for tax purposes if they need a little assistance. So that is greatly appreciated.”
Lasham will be at the Campbell County Senior Center every Wednesday through April 11 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Reservations are required. If you would like to make a reservation for free tax assistance with Mr. Lasham, stop by the senior center or call them at 686-0804.
