Operation Snow Shovel is a referral program that
connects residents who need help shoveling with volunteers
who are willing to help them out. Assistance is available
for Burlington residents who need snow shoveled from their
walkways this winter. This program is offered to only those
people who are unable to pay for this assistance, and/or who
are physically unable to shovel themselves.
Volunteers are matched with a person in need of shoveling
who lives in a location convenient to them. Volunteers
commit to shoveling the walk leading up to the front door of
their match’s residence within 24 hours of each snowfall,
when it snows over three inches. Operations Snow Shovel
volunteers ensure that the most vulnerable of our citizens
who cannot remove snow from their own walkways can get out
and otherwise remain independent. It is a great and simple
way to give back this winter. The City of Burlington
Department of
Public Works removes snow from streets and sidewalks,
but does not have the personnel to clear private property.
Apartment Owners/Property Managers are responsible for
removal of snow from the walks and driveways of their own
rental buildings.
