Snow is here!

There are community members who are unable to shovel their own driveways and sidewalks and are on a waitlist to be paired with a Snow Angel.

Snow Angels are volunteers who are willing to go to a registered home to help shovel after a snowfall. If you or your family have the time and ability to help, please consider signing up to be a Snow Angel this winter.
