Tax Aide

Due to AARP approved site restrictions, WB Parks, regrettably will not be able to schedule any tax-aide appointments for 2021 for the cities of West Bloomfield or Bloomfield Township this year.  Please check with the AARP official website www.aarp.org for updates. You may also visit www.irs.gov for tax forms, information and online filing.
​ 

Free Grocery Delivery

Oakland County is excited to announce a FREE opportunity for seniors ages 60+ in Oakland County!  There are NO income restrictions to participate in the program.
​ 
Seniors or their guardian/friend/family member can apply for free one-year memberships with Shipt provided by Oakland County.  These are first come, first served.  They will apply online (or via phone at our HELP line but they must still have online capabilities to use Shipt).  After they apply online, they will receive an email that will include their redemption code, and they can open their account.
