City Of Pgh Snow Angels Program 2018-19

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. 
 
Click here to visit the Snow Angel Program webpage. 
or call 3-1-1 to volunteer or to request an angel.
