Agency: Safe Winter Walkways

Contact: Dacia at daciam@sunflower.com

Safe Winter Walkways is calling for volunteers to be matched with Lawrence residents who are unable to shovel snow. Volunteers will remove snow from the public sidewalk and a walkway or path from the front door to the street. Volunteers are asked to commit to the 2008-09 snow season and shovel each snowfall of 2 or more inches.
