Applications for the 2021-2022 Snow Angels Program, now managed by the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Public Works, are open now. This program pairs older adult residents and residents with disabilities with nearby volunteer Snow Angels to help them shovel and salt their property throughout the winter.
In order to request help from a Snow Angel, neighbors must:
Be at least 60 years old or have a physical disability
Live within City of Pittsburgh limits
Lack other resources (financial or family/friends nearby) to assist with snow removal
Volunteers and neighbors in need can register for the program online at https://pittsburghpa.gov/snowangels/ or by calling the City’s 311 Response Center. The 2020-2021 program saw over 365 neighbors matched with volunteers to help them manage the hardships of winter.
