Want to help a snowed-in D.C. resident this winter? You can sign up to be a 鈥淪now Team Hero鈥� to shovel snow from walkways and driveways after a storm for neighbors who can’t.
The Mayor鈥檚 Office on Volunteerism and Partnerships, or ServeDC, is inviting residents to be a part of the 鈥淪now Team Heroes鈥� program 鈥� a citywide volunteer program that pairs neighbors to help clear away snow.
鈥淲inter weather can be challenging for anyone, and especially for our neighbors who are not able to clear their walkways or driveways,鈥� D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a news release Wednesday. 鈥淪now Team Heroes embodies the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors 鈥� checking in, clearing walkways, and making sure everyone can get around safely throughout the winter season.鈥�
The program is geared to help seniors and community members with disabilities who may not be able to safely navigate getting in and out of their homes when there鈥檚 snow on the ground.
Volunteers receive support and training, as well as equipment, such as shovels and salt, if they need them.
