Tecumseh Seeking Snow and Leaf Angels
The Town of Tecumseh is seeking volunteers for the 2021-2022 Snow and Leaf Angels Program, which starts October 31 and ends March 31.
“Our volunteers are the backbone of many of our programs in Tecumseh,” said Mayor Gary McNamara. “The Snow and Leaf Angels are truly angels to many residents in the community, and we are so grateful for their time and effort through some of the worst weather, helping those in need.”
Snow and Leaf Angels are matched with seniors and persons with physical disabilities living in the Town. The angels clear snow and leaves from Town sidewalks and driveway entrances for those in need of assistance.
Last year, 42 volunteers in the program cleared snow and leaves for over 40 residents in need of help. Angels are provided with toques and shovels, if necessary, and are matched with the residents they support. The program is a great way for families to volunteer together and for high school students to complete their 40 hours of community service.
As part of the ongoing restrictions related to COVID-19, volunteers and residents do not interact with each other and volunteers are required to bring their own equipment. The Town also reminds volunteers and residents to maintain social distance while working.
To learn more about the program and complete a volunteer application, visit the Snow and Leaf Angels page on the Town’s website or contact Tecumseh Town Hall at 519-735-2184, Ext. 143. Seniors (those 65 years or older) and persons with physical disabilities can apply for assistance by contacting the Town by phone or completing the online form on the Snow and Leaf Angels page on the website.
