This is Joseph from Snowcrew.org. We have had a hard time with volunteers in NJ this year. We lost our partner who really helped get the word out.
I do encourage you to keep posting as you need help. It would also help to specific exactly what you need shoveled. Your current request makes it look like you need your backyard shoveled. This might make sense to you, but a volunteer might wonder why.
In other word, people understand why a sidewalk or driveway needs to be shoveled, but not a large back yard. Does this make sense?
If I just had a sidewalk and a small driveway I wouldn't need any help. But the backyard is actually asphalt that runs from the front sidewalk back to my garage.
Donald, with the way that you sound I don’t think anyone will show up to help. You sound entitled, and coming back every year to say that no one shows up makes you seem like a kook. If there are volunteers, maybe they’re helping someone who explained in their request that they have a medical condition or are in a wheelchair, not just vaguely stating they need help. You can also PAY someone to help you. There are probably kids around who will assist you for $20.

Ok, got it!
Next time I recommend stating something like, please shovel the driveway the runs from the sidewalk to the garage in the back of my house.
Take care,
Joseph
