Volunteers in Richmond are being sought out to help elderly residents shovel snow during the winter.
Every year, the City of Richmond offers the Snow Angel program, which is volunteer-driven, to make sure the elderly, ill or those with mobility concerns are safe during the snowy season.
The program kicks in when there are three or more centimetres of snow in Richmond.
Snow Angel volunteers can be individuals, families, students or businesses and can choose their work in their own neighbourhood or any location across Richmond and their own volunteer time.
Volunteers are provided with a shovel, toque and a container of ice melt.
To sign up as a Snow Angel volunteer, visit ICanHelp.Richmond.ca or email [email protected]
Residents who would like the Snow Angel service are asked to contact the Snow Angels Coordinator at [email protected] or call 604-247-4453 by Dec. 1.
