Help Seniors with Snow Removal

After clearing their own driveways and sidewalks, many good neighbors point their snowblowers or shovels toward those of their elderly neighbors. There is still a lot of winter left and Tioga Opportunities, Inc., Department of Aging Services is receiving calls for help from some Tioga County residents who don't have anyone to help clear their snow and ice. This is even more serious when the person anticipates a daily home delivered meal, or may need an ambulance.

Aging Services is creating a list of people who are willing to shovel for hire and even those who are willing to volunteer for a senior citizen who cannot afford to hire someone. If you are willing to shovel, plow, or snowblow a sidewalk or driveway for a senior citizen in your neighborhood, please call Danielle Eldred at 687-4120 to be added to the list.
