Mutual aid snow removal connects neighbors needing help (often seniors, disabled, or injured) with volunteers willing to shovel driveways/sidewalks. Some community groups are also available to volunteer their services. These efforts focus on neighborly kindness, ensuring accessibility, and supporting those who can’t afford commercial services or physically manage the task.
