Snow Buddies Program
Snow Buddies
Snow Buddies give students the opportunity to be matched with a senior, helping keep their driveway/pathway clear of snow. This assistance will help prevent falls. The role of the Snow Buddies is to be available to remove snow when they are called or when there is a snowfall. The Snow Buddies program is a great opportunity for students to gain volunteer experience, receive community service hours and help out in their community.The Snow Buddies program is also open to adult volunteers who wish to help out in their community. Please call us to see if we have a client in need of snow removal in your area.
