North Hills Community Outreach is seeking snow lovers, or at least volunteers who don’t mind shoveling it.
The group’s In Service of Seniors program needs people to shovel walks for older residents to avoid them risking a fall or other injury.
Help is particularly needed in Etna, Glenshaw, Millvale, McCandless, Ross and West View.
Jennifer Kissel, director of communications, said available volunteers will be matched with requests from residents in Aspinwall, Blawnox, Sharpsburg and other neighborhoods throughout the Lower Valley as well.
Volunteers will be asked to shovel sidewalks, steps and driveways so senior citizens can more safely leave their homes.
When driveways and walkways are snow-covered, ACCESS drivers cannot assist senior citizens to the vehicle and visiting nurses and Meals on Wheels volunteers put themselves at risk.
To volunteer, contact Cathy at 412-307-0069 ext. 3313 or clpshchirer@nhco.org.
