City Of Pittsburgh Snow Angels Program 
Snow covered sidewalks can be hazardous for everyone. Pittsburgh Snow Angels is a program that helps minimize the hardships of winter by pairing volunteers with elderly or disabled residents to assist with snow removal. 
 
Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from a snow storm, Snow Angels makes our sidewalks safer for those who continue to serve despite the winter weather – like postal service workers, firemen, and police officers. 
 
To help boost volunteer numbers this year the City is holding a competition to see which community groups recruit the most Snow Angels volunteers. Winning groups will be recognized by Mayor William Peduto and receive other perks. 
 
or call 3-1-1 to volunteer or to request an angel.

Oakcliffe Be A Good Neighbor Block Party Tue 9/18 5:30p


Warning: Undefined variable $output in /home2/oakcliff/public_html/wp-content/themes/mw-small-Oakcliffe/functions.php on line 103
For the Fall semester 2018, the University will hold six “Be A Good Neighbor Block Parties.” The primary objective of these block parties is to bring students who live or will be living in specific Oakland neighborhoods together with long-term residents of those neighborhoods in a “get- to-know-one-another social setting.” Many long-term residents believe these efforts continue to be effective in the reduction of disruptive behavior from the student population. The University of Pittsburgh believes the block parties along with other “educational initiatives” undertaken by both internal and external partners have been major contributors to this reduction and that these efforts should be continued. In this regard, the following is the date for local block party for 2018: 
September 18, 5:30-7:30pm South Oakland, Craft Ave at Niagara Street – (Parklet)
