Snow Angels Program
The Snow Angels Program pairs volunteers with eligible community members who are elderly, ill or have mobility challenges and need help shoveling sidewalks and walkways during heavy snow fall (3 cm or more).
Volunteer to Become a Snow Angel!
Volunteers who sign up to become Snow Angels will receive training, a shovel, a toque, and ice melt. Snow Angels can also choose a specific area of Richmond to help with snow shoveling.
Join the Snow Angel program today at icanhelp.richmond.ca or contact the Snow Angel Coordinator at 604-247-4947. Individuals, families and businesses are encouraged to volunteer!
