How has the Allegheny Community Center been of Value to our Community this Year?
The Community Center is a venue for getting our Senior’s the COVID-19 vaccinations. Working with motivator Gaughn’s Drug Store and Experience, Inc., your local Area Agency on Aging, we have been instrumental in providing nearly 900 vaccinations.We are dedicated to continuing to provide a location where our community can receive a vaccination.
We have also been instrumental in providing free tax preparation with our wonderful VITA tax volunteers. This free program was available to help the entire community. Our volunteers completed approximately 600 returns and filed almost as many Rent and Property Tax rebates.
Our seniors are incredibly active and social people. Their isolation during COVID has made it very apparent on how important it is to have a place for them to come have lunch, be on the go, and socialize.
The Allegheny Community Center is dedicated to providing supportive and informational services to our entire community. Please help us continue to be of value to you.
Donations by check can be made to WarrenGives by May 17th. Call WarrenGives to learn how to send your donation 814-726-9551
