Request a Snow Angel

Request a Snow Angel

To request a Snow Angel, here are the requirements:

  • Must be a Batavia or Batavia Township (Illinois) resident
  • Veterans, older adults (60+), or neighbors living with a disability physically unable to shovel
  • Financially unable to pay for a service

*Please note this is a volunteer program and we may not yet have volunteers to pair with you. We will make our best efforts to recruit volunteers throughout the season.

**Applications will be accepted beginning on October 1, 2026 for the 2026-2027 snow season.

Things to Know When You Sign Up to Request Help:

  • You are not guaranteed assistance.  Service depends on whether a Snow Angel has signed up near you.  
  • If you are matched with a Snow Angel, we will notify you by email or phone call. Registration is on a rolling basis, so a Snow Angel may be available later in the season.
  • You may not receive immediate help during a snowfall.  Please give your volunteer a reasonable amount of time to assist you – we recommend allowing 24 hours after a snow event concludes.  Your Snow Angel may have work, family, or personal matters that prevent them from immediately shoveling your sidewalk or walkway.  
  • If snow is predicted to melt within 24 hours, the volunteer may not shovel.  
  • You do not have to be home when a Snow Angel arrives to help. 
  • This is a free service; no payment is required or expected.  
  • If you have any concerns, please contact Batavia United Way.
