The Serve Detroit Snow Team is a city-led volunteer effort to help seniors and residents with disabilities in cases a Snow Emergency (6 inches or more) to clear snow from walkways.
Volunteers must be 16 or older. Those under 16 must volunteer with a supervised group or adult.
-
Volunteers do not need to live in Detroit. Tools are available upon request.
-
Volunteers are paired with a resident for the full snow season, typically within or near their selected district.
-
In the event of a snow emergency (6 inches or more), volunteers will be notified by text or email, usually 3–4 days in advance when possible.
-
Snow shoveling services should be completed within 24 hours of notification.
-
Residents are notified of their volunteer pairing, so no direct contact is required when providing service.
For questions or concerns, please reach out via email. Thank you for your continued support in helping keep Detroit safe.
