Here are three ways to help your elderly, disabled or sick neighbors with shoveling so that they are not trapped in their homes,
unable to get needed medication and food or unable to get to work: 1. C…heck in on neighbors and offer help. 2. Sign up for SnowCrew, an online site for matching shoveling volunteers with those in need today. 3. Before the next storm, sign up to volunteer for the City’s Shoveling Assistance program (a CORI background check will be done so you can volunteer next time). Finally, if you can’t shovel, you can still check if neighbors need errands run for items such as medication or groceries.
