Minnesota residents are facing an ongoing need for snow removal assistance following a recent heavy, wet snowstorm. Volunteer groups are working to clear sidewalks and driveways, prioritizing those who are unable to do so themselves, such as seniors and individuals recovering from illness.
In St. Paul, the Saintly City Snow Angels Facebook group is experiencing high demand. Administrators report that 22 people are currently awaiting help, though the group has successfully assisted 139 individuals a total of 262 times. The organization is actively recruiting more volunteers to manage the extensive list of requests.
Similarly, in Minneapolis, a volunteer group in the Fulton neighborhood, operating in its first year, is collaborating with Minneapolis Public Works. This initiative, which received a $5,000 grant for safety equipment, has helped clear 44 sidewalks and driveways. Both St. Paul and Minneapolis volunteer efforts emphasize their continuous need for additional helpers and are open to applications from those requiring assistance.
