Volunteer Snow Shoveling Program to Commence this Winter Season

Alex Gordon, a student at Highland Park High School, has founded a snow-shoveling program in which volunteers can assist Highland Park residents who cannot clear their own sidewalks. Working in conjunction with the City of Highland Park, the program will match volunteers who are able to shovel snow and clear sidewalks with residents who need assistance.  Residents interested in volunteering should contact Highland Park resident Alex Gordon at (847) 224-8458 or at Snow@AlexNGordon.com. Residents who are interested in determining if they qualify for assistance with snow removal should contact Don Miner, Manager of Youth and Senior Services, at (847) 926-1861 or at dminer@cityhpil.com. Both the volunteers and the recipients will be required to complete liability waivers. Training will be provided for volunteers.

Each property owner will be responsible for providing shovels and ice melting materials as required. Snow Blowers will not be permitted due to safety issues.  The program will only include sidewalks, not driveways.
Efforts will be made to geographically match volunteers with recipients.
