HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Snow Angels is a volunteer program designed to assist older and disabled residents with snow removal from sidewalks and driveways after a winter storm.  The program will run from December 1 through the last snowfall of the season.

The Borough is looking for volunteers willing to be a Snow Angel.  Snow Angels will then be paired with a nearby resident in need.

Signing up to be a Snow Angel or to receive assistance is easy!  Go to the Snow Angel Program page of our website to sign up online or to acquire additional information and guidelines for the program. Or contact Donna Platt at 412-364-4115, Ext. 302 or by email at dplatt@franklinparkborough.us.
