“Volunteerism is the voice of the people put into action.  These actions shape and mold the present into a future of which we can all be proud.” 

AARP provides free tax help at the Denville town hall each year by appointment. Many low, moderate and middle income people in Northern New Jersey, especially those 60 and older, need help preparing their annual taxes. Volunteer with AARP Foundation, Tax-Aide. Help those in need to get all of the deductions and credits they deserve and only pay in taxes their fair share. You do not need to be a senior or a member of AARP to volunteer, just someone wanting to help others. Training is provided in late Fall / Early Winter and taxes are prepared in February thru April 15. You don’t need any prior tax experience – just a willingness to participate. Everyone preparing taxes undergoes certification thru an IRS testing process. In Morris County for the 2022 tax year, 50 volunteers volunteering at 9 different sites prepared and e-filed more than 1,400 federal tax returns, a comparable number of state tax returns and Senior Freeze Act returns (PTR’s) and answered more than 125 inquiries.

The Beautification Committee was established to stimulate the love of gardening, to provide education and resources about gardening, to aid in the protection of native plants and trees, and to work for the preservation of Denville Township’s beauty.

Volunteers meet on Saturday mornings to do some planting, weeding, pruning or mulching in a particular garden. During the summer months, the group also meets on Wednesday evenings to get a little more work done around town. It is also the aim to educate and inspire the volunteers while we work. Volunteering with DBC will give you a chance to connect socially with other volunteers, share your gardening skills and be involved with the activities of the township. A little of your time goes a long way.

New members are always welcome! The committee meetings are held every 2nd Wednesday of every month at 7 pm in town hall.

Reach out to Irene Stefanacci at 973-625-8300 x 290 or email her at [email protected] for more information.

The Committee is comprised of volunteers and appointed Township officials. It was established through an ordinance in order to both recommend environmental sustainability measures for our town and to promote awareness and education on this important topic.
