Pawtucket seniors: Sign up now for Youth to Senior Snow Shoveling Program
Pawtucket’s Youth to Senior Shoveling Program is now accepting requests from Pawtucket seniors, aged 65+ who wish to be placed on a list to be matched with a snow shoveling volunteer for the upcoming winter.
Don’t wait until the first flakes fall to think about snow removal.
Through this program, student volunteers donate their time and effort to help older residents of Pawtucket who are unable to shovel snow during the winter months. The students are paired with seniors who live in their neighborhoods to help them by shoveling their stairs, a path to their front door, and sidewalks (driveways not required).
The student volunteer’s work can be counted towards community service hours. A celebration will be held at the end of the winter to thank the students.
Seniors who are interested in receiving shoveling assistance can contact Herb Weiss, Deputy Director, Leon Mathieu Senior Center/Pawtucket Division of Senior Services at 728-7582 or by email at: [email protected].
