Tax preparation information

The AARP tax preparation people are finishing up their season. This week they are putting the finishing touches on those returns that need to be completed. They will not be taking any more clients.

They thank you for your patience.

Transportation

The Senior Center is providing medical transportation only. Remember to call ahead for Friday’s appointments. Monday and Thursday rides have to be worked around grocery delivery.

Congregate meals

We are still continuing to provide meals at the Hill County Senior Center as “grab-and-go meals” while we are still closed. If you would like to pick up a meal, please be sure to call the center before 10 a.m. to order your meal through the kitchen. Your meals may be picked up at the center from 11:45 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. Monday through Friday. You may order a meal for one day or put in your order for the entire week, whatever is more convenient.
