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!

Are you looking for help from this storm or for future storms? If for future storms you will need to request assistance each time it snows. This will let our volunteer "Yetis" know you need help and if anyone has helped you or not.

Snowcrew.org is an online matching tool that connects people who need help shoveling with nearby neighbors who can and want to help dig them out.

Those that qualify for shoveling assistance include the elderly, disabled, sick, pregnant, and injured neighbors who are not physically able to shovel or cannot afford to hire someone to dig them out.

Please know that others have found help by calling local churches, gyms, construction companies, VFW and American Legion Posts, and Knights of Columbus and asked for help. If on facebook, post to let your friends know you need help.

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.

Please help spread the word out about Snowcrew - we provide the technology - you provide the neighbors. You can stay in touch with us and help spread the word by sharing out posts on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/snowcrew.org

Thanks,

Joseph Porcelli - 857-222-4420
