City is preparing its annual list of available shovelers. Paid and volunteer positions available.
The
City of Medford is preparing to publish its annual its of local snow
shovelers and is seeking community members to add to the list. Each
winter, the City publishes a list of individuals or businesses available
to assist residents who are unable to shovel during winter storms.
Shovelers can volunteer or be paid for their services (payment is
arranged directly between the resident and the shoveler). Especially
during the COVID-19 pandemic, the City is seeking volunteers who may be
willing to provide support for residents in need, including senior
citizens, residents who are ill or immune-compromised, or residents with
disabilities.
While
the City publishes a list of available shovelers, any payment or direct
services is arranged directly between residents and the shoveler. The
City will provide a suggested price list. If you are a resident in need
of assistance with shoveling, you can obtain the updated list at www.medfordma.org, or by calling the Council on Aging at 781-396-6010 or the Mayor’s Office at 781-393-2408.

information, neighborhood(s) you are available to shovel, and a
completed CORI form. Forms are available at www.medfordma.org/snow-removal,
