Volunteers for the Denver Snow Angels Program were seen in action on Saturday, shoveling sidewalks for older Coloradans and people with disabilities. The program, a Denver Human Rights and Community Partnerships initiative, has recently been revamped for efficiency, using new technology to pair homes in need with nearby volunteers. The volunteers receive an email with addresses requiring assistance in their selected neighborhoods. The process is streamlined, with volunteers updating the status of each home they shovel. The program website now features a dashboard displaying the number of houses shoveled during each storm and year-to-date.
Volunteer Paul Rosenthal highlighted the importance of helping neighbors who are unable to shovel snow on their own. He emphasized the program’s goal of providing assistance to those in need. The City of Denver encourages both new volunteers and residents in need of assistance to submit applications and get involved. The Snow Angels Program aims to make a positive impact in the community, showcasing random acts of kindness and helping those who are unable to shovel their sidewalks. If you’re interested in volunteering or receiving assistance, visit the program’s website to learn more and submit an application. The program continues to make a difference in Denver by connecting volunteers with neighbors in need during winter storms.
