The DC Volunteer Snow Program, brought to you by Mayor Bowser and Serve DC, matches volunteers with senior residents and those with access and functional needs for snow removal services in the aftermath of a winter event. Each winter season, our goal is to ensure that Serve DC Volunteer Snow Team members/volunteers adopt a resident that has submitted a Snow Removal Request. With your help, we are building a safer, stronger DC.

DC Volunteer Snow Team Requirements
- Volunteers will be deployed when requested based on the District of Columbia's snow weather emergency posture to the adopted home of their selection.
- Volunteers will be expected to complete the volunteer service within 24 hours after the winter event has ended.
- Volunteers will be expected to clear a 35-inch pathway spanning the length from the door to the sidewalk (including any steps), as well as the immediate sidewalk that surrounds the property, and entryway to the street.
- Volunteers are not deployed when there is ice.
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.
We highly recommend Volunteers not to drive during a snow storm for safety.
