This winter season, NYC Service is assisting community-based organizations in mobilizing volunteers to help seniors avoid accidents and ticketing by organizing a comprehensive, last resort snow removal strategy. 

 

The City is encouraging New Yorkers to give their blank this winter by helping neighbors in need - especially seniors and those living with disabilities.
 

Our office will be acting as a referral program, connecting interested volunteers with partnering organizations.
 

If you are interested in being a Snow Removal partner organization you should be able to:

Design program (1:1 matching vs. team shoveling, season-long matching vs. storm-by-storm deployment, etc.)

Manage day-to-day operations of program

Ensure that seniors are being served throughout season

For partners: We are asking your organization to implement a strategy best fit for your organization to match volunteers to seniors that we have already identified. Please make us aware if you would like to join us in this service. Contact nycservice@cityhall.nyc.gov or call 212 341-2000 if you are interested.  

If you are interested in volunteering to remove snow:

Please contact NYC Service at nycservice@cityhall.nyc.gov or call 212-341-2000 and provide your contact information and neighborhood. You will then be referred to one of our partner organizations.
