Who We Are

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Serve DC -- The Mayor's Office on Volunteerism's DC Volunteer Snow Program matches volunteers with senior residents and those with access and functional needs for free snow removal services in the aftermath of a winter event. Serve DC will make every effort to match you with a DC Volunteer Snow Team volunteer. This is a 100% volunteer effort, and they are happy to serve you.

What We Do

DC Volunteer Snow Team

Join our DC Volunteer Snow Team, and help your neighbors stay safe this winter. Mayor Bowser and Serve DC need your help clearing sidewalks and front walkways for our seniors and residents with access and functional needs during the winter weather.

- Complete the volunteer service within 24 hours after the winter event has ended
- Clear a 35-inch pathway from door to sidewalk (including steps), an immediate sidewalk that spans the property, and entryway to street
Volunteers should not
- Enter resident’s homes
- Solicit or accept money, tips, gifts, etc.
- Clear snow off of cars, multiple entry/exit points, driveways, alleyways, roofs, etc.
