Message: While snowstorms are exciting for many of us, for neighbors who are elder, injured, or have a disability (especially those with fixed incomes), snowstorms can cause a great deal of anxiety and pose a threat to their well-being and financial stability.

Since we are all connected to our neighbors on Nextdoor, we can ask for and offer help shoveling when it snows.

Follow the instructions below. For emergencies, call 911, and please only venture outside if it is safe to do so. Please note assistance is not guaranteed.

Step 1: Click this link https://bit.ly/Snowcrew

Step 2: Where it says, “What is on your mind, neighbor,” type in what needs shoveling (walkway, car, porch, driveway, etc.). Be specific.

Step 3: Click "Add a location;" if the location is inaccurate, type your address in the "Search" field, then click the "Use this location" button.

Step 4: Click “Next”

Step 5: Under "Post to your feed," click on "Anyone" and change it to "Nearby neighborhoods" to reach neighbors close to you

Step 6: Click "Post"

Step 7: Monitor and respond to comments by your neighbors.

Step 8: When you get shoveled out, leave another comment again that you are all set and give thanks to the neighbor that helped you out.

Please remember that this is a neighbor-powered effort, and participation is voluntary. There is no list of #Snowcrew volunteers or service providers - neighbors need to offer and ask for help shoveling each time it snows.

Be safe!
