City of Bozeman looking for ‘Snow Angels’

EBS STAFF

The City of Bozeman is looking for volunteers to help be a ‘Snow Angel’ as a part of a program that pairs volunteers willing to shovel an extra sidewalk or two, with older residents and those with disabilities who cannot.

The City of Bozeman Sidewalk Snow Removal Ordinance requires residents to remove all snow and ice from public sidewalks within 24 hours by the end of the last snowfall. This maintains a safe public walkway for neighbors, pedestrians, emergency personnel and mail carriers.

Those interested can visit the city’s website to request the help of a Snow Angel, or volunteer to be one for someone in need. The city particularly needs volunteers in the areas of Kagy Korner, Sacajawea Middle School, Gallatin Valley Mall and Valley Unit Park.
