Volunteer to Shovel Snow for a Rockville Elderly Neighbor

City Pairs Helpers with Seniors

Each winter, the Rockville Senior Center looks for ways to help older Rockville residents with snow removal. If you’re handy with a shovel and don’t mind digging out an extra driveway or clearing a walkway or two, you can sign up and volunteer for the program.

The senior center’s home maintenance coordinator organizes the program and can connect you with neighbors in need near your home. What better way to celebrate the season of selfless giving?

To sign up to volunteer or to request snow-shoveling assistance, email Jerry Jones at jjones@rockville
md.gov, call Jones at 240-314-8819 or call the Senior Center Support Services office at 240-314-8810. To sign up for assistance or volunteer online, visit bit.ly/snowshovelvolunteer.

For more information about Rockville Senior Services, call 240-314-8800 or email seniorcenter@
rockvillemd.gov.

When winter weather strikes, turn to the city’s website at www.rockvillemd.gov/winterweather for information about the Rockville’s snow removal policies.

 

This is a City of Rockville, Maryland announcement.

When I live in Minnesota with my parents, we always shoveled sidewalks for the lady next door who was a senior and anyone else who may have needed assistance.  There were no programs, just an abundance of common sense.  A

I shoveled snow for one of our neighbors this morning. And, one of our neighbors added some ice melt to our front sidewalk. Before I went out, I saw a neighbor shoveling snow for one of the seniors.

Hello Roy,  I hope lots of people get involve with this program and you are not out shoveling snow this morning.
