As we brace ourselves for whatever winter will bring, Citizens Committee for New York City is partnering with NYC Service to help enlist community organizations in an effort to help seniors and the disabled clear the snow in front of their homes.
Citizens Committee has already worked with the Department for the Aging to identify seniors that would need this last resort service. NYC Service is currently building a list of community groups in order to deploy volunteers to meet the needs of seniors in their neighborhood.
If your are part of a group--block association, school committee, book club, whatever--that would like to volunteer to help the elderly and the disabled clear the snow from their homes in our area, please send an email to Saleen Shah at sshah@citizensnyc.org.
