Column:Let It Snow

Snow Buddies help during winter months.

Are you ready to be jolly? Would you like to help seniors and low-income families during this winter season? If so, consider becoming a Snow Buddy. Volunteer Alexandria, in collaboration with the City of Alexandria, implements Snow Buddies, a program in which volunteers register to help others by shoveling snow when winter decides to throw on its white coat. Last year, 30 Snow Buddy volunteers helped more than 35 families who needed snow removal assistance during the snow season. "Snow Buddies has been great!” said volunteer Eric Dillon. “The best part is the seniors. All of them offer me something warm to drink or say ‘thanks’ in person and it truly shows their gratitude.” If interested in volunteering as a Snow Buddy, register at www.VolunteerAlexandria.org and search Snow Buddies. Once registered, you will be matched with a senior or family that needs assistance. “Snow days for my peers are like holidays where everyone stays warm and drinks wine, but I know these days are anything but little vacations for my seniors,” Dillon added. “These events adversely affect their lives. Hopefully, I'm being a part of the solution for them."
