Hello neighbor,

Thank you for requesting shoveling assistance via Snowcrew.org. My name is Joseph Porcelli and I am the founder and volunteer organizer of Snowcrew - It's great to meet you!

Snowcrew.org is an online matching tool that helps connect neighbors who can and want to help dig out their elderly, disabled, sick, pregnant, and injured neighbors who are not physically able to shovel, or cannot afford to hire someone to dig them out. Neither matches nor shoveling are guaranteed and you have agreed to use Snowcrew.org at your own risk as outlined in the Terms of Use (http://snowcrew.org/terms-of-use).

This is our first request in PA and there are currently not many Yetis sign up in your state yet. I recommend you do the following:

Call local churches, gyms, VFW and American Legion Posts, and Knights of Columbus to ask for help. They have helped others out in the past.

If on facebook, post to let your friends know you need help.

Please help spread the word out about Snowcrew - we provide the technology - you provide the neighbors.

If anything changes or your end or you find alternate shoveling assistance, please let us know by posting a comment. By doing so, you will inform those who may be heading over to help you that you are all set and allow our volunteers shovelers and organizers to focus our efforts on others who need help.

Please also keep in mind it may take a couple of days to get dug out and most volunteers are only able to do so in the evening or on the weekend as most work during the day. As a volunteer, during the week, I help out in the early morning, during my lunch break and after work. On the weekends, I have more flexibility.

If you have not done so already, please sign up for our email updates so we can stay in touch -https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USNEIGHBORS/subscriber/new.
