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.
