Volunteer to be a Snow Angel for 2025-2026

HELP CLEAR snow for SENIORS and NEIGHBORS with Disabilities

The City of Pittsburgh is excited to announce the official launch of the 2025-2026 Snow Angels program. The program pairs community volunteers with seniors and residents with disabilities who need assistance shoveling and salting their sidewalks and walkways throughout the winter. 

Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from a heavy snowfall or freeze, Snow Angels make sidewalks safer for those who are outside during winter weather like postal workers, firefighters, police officers, and other neighbors. Data from past years shows the number of neighbors in need of assistance far surpasses the number of volunteers who sign up in many areas of the city.

Volunteers and recipients can learn more and sign up online at  https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/snow-angels.  Neighbors seeking services and volunteers can also register for the program by calling 311. Residents can contact the Snow Angels Program directly at 412-255-2621 or  snowangels@pittsburghpa.gov.
