About the Snow Angels Program -

Winter storms and snow-covered sidewalks can be hazardous. Cranberry Snow Angels is a part of  the Volunteer Cranberry umbrella of volunteer opportunities. The program is designed to help minimize the difficulties of snow storms by matching community volunteers with elderly or disabled residents to assist with snow removal.

The Cranberry Snow Angels program will assist residents in their time of need after snow storms pass. Snow Angels will be partnered with residents to remove snow and help keep sidewalks and driveways safer for everyone.

The Snow Angel program matches residents with volunteers when/if there are enough volunteers to fill the requests. There is no guarantee that enough volunteers will be secured. If/when there are no remaining volunteers to match, a message will be placed on this page indicating that residents may still submit their information, but that they are encouraged to find alternate assistance, as Snow Angel assistance is not guaranteed.
