As we look ahead at the winter forecast, we’re busy planning ways to support members of our community who may need extra help after a snowstorm. Volunteer Prince William is recruiting Volunteer Snow Shovelers to assist senior citizens and adults with disabilities by clearing sidewalks and driveways after snowstorms.
Who can volunteer?
· Volunteers ages 16 and older are welcome
· Volunteers under 16 may participate with a parent
Volunteers must provide their own snow shovel.
Who Receives This Service:
· Senior citizens with critical medical needs such as dialysis/cancer treatment appointments
· Senior citizens receiving in-home care such as hospice or visiting caregivers
· Senior citizens who are disabled and unable to shovel snow
· Adult residents under 65 who are disabled
· All other senior citizens who are physically unable to shovel their walk/driveway
What to expect:
· Volunteers will be on call through March 31
· Shoveling typically takes place 1–3 days after a snowstorm
You’ll help vulnerable residents safely access critical medical appointments, home healthcare, and safely enter or exit their homes. You’ll get a great workout—and a warm fuzzy feeling—by making a real difference in someone’s life!
