‘Snow Angel’ Volunteers Needed

By Linda Perlman

The NFCCA is seeking a volunteer coordinator and volunteers for a Snow Angels Program to be established in our neighborhood.  A Snow Angels Program will pair volunteers with elderly or physically disabled residents to assist with snow removal from walkways, steps, sidewalks, and driveways.  Removing snow from sidewalks and driveways can be a challenge for many residents, especially after large storms.  Shoveling snow also can be a health risk for many.

NFCCA board members often receive calls from residents who are physically unable to remove the snow themselves.  Many times, they do not have friends or family members available to assist them.  To fill this need, NFCCA would like to start a Snow Angels Program to link volunteers willing to shovel snow with residents who need the service.

If you are willing to coordinate a Snow Angels Program for Winter 2016–2017, or if you wish to volunteer to be a snow angel, please call 301.593.8566, send an email to nfcca AT verizon DOT net, or visit the Snow Angels link on our website.   ■
