FREE Eastown Senior Snow Shoveling Assistance Program

The Eastown Community Association is piloting a program for Eastown seniors to receive free snow shoveling services from December 1st to March 31st. A teen volunteer or family will serve as your Snow Angel, clearing both your driveway, city sidewalk, and a pathway from your home to the sidewalk.
