Cedar Crest HS Students Assist Juniper Village Residents with Taxes

It's tax season! And Cedar Crest High School students are ready to assist!

In a special program, Cedar Crest High School students have the opportunity to learn about tax laws and become certified by the Internal Revenue Service to complete tax returns for individuals. The program is call the Volunteer Income Tax Assistant program.

The residents at Juniper Village at Lebanon, a personal care community, were delighted to learn they could receive help with their income tax returns and prepared their documents. So in early March, a group of Cedar Crest High School students and their teachers came to meet with them to help prepare their returns. The residents were so appreciative of the students and teachers for providing this free service. (It's actually the second year that Juniper Village residents have been assisted by the group.)

This collaboration is a wonderful example of community support and education stated Tanya Fleming, Connections Director of Juniper Village. "We are always seeking ways to improve the lives of residents, especially through community partnerships.

Juniper Village at Lebanon, a premier personal care community, is located at 1125 Birch Rd, Lebanon, PA, on 15 scenic acres and conveniently located in South Lebanon Township, just east of the city of Lebanon. For more information visit www.junipercommunities.com.
