About Greenburgh Snow Angels: The Greenburgh Snow Angels program is a community-driven initiative dedicated to helping the elderly members of our community who can’t remove the snow in their driveways and walkways during severe weather conditions. With enough volunteers, our goal is to ensure that everyone, especially the elderly and those with mobility challenges, receives the support they need to safely navigate through snowy and icy conditions. In 2023/2024 about 65 seniors were helped by the snow angel volunteers. Twice a year during the fall the landscape angels help elderly residents enhance their properties.
