Snow Angels Program

Each year, the City of Lincoln receives an average of about 28 inches of snow. Removing snow from sidewalks and driveways can be a challenge for many Lincoln residents, especially after large storms. Shoveling snow also can be a health risk for many.

The City Public Works and Utilities Department often receives calls from residents who are physically unable to remove the snow themselves. Many times, they do not have friends or family members available to assist them.

To fill this need, United Methodist Churches in Lincoln started "Snow Angels," a program to link volunteers willing to shovel snow with residents who need the service.
