Buffalo is the "City of Good Neighbors", and currently our neighbors need us. Our community members become snowed in, their vehicles buried, our streets unplowed. Many of these individuals are unable to shovel or clear paths. These neighbors have work, doctors visits, or grocery trips, but are unable to leave their homes and are in need of assistance.
The Buffalo Snow Brigade is a volunteer campaign working to solve this issue, by assisting our snowed in neighbors with some much needed shoveling. This campaign is mobilizing volunteers to offer assistance to those residents who are unable to clear snow from their residences.
This volunteer opportunity is for remote dispatching our volunteers.
A Dispatcher pairs a snow removal request with a willing volunteer, and arranges a time for that volunteer to visit and remove the snow from our neighbor in need.
To be frank, the Snow Brigade should not exist. While we are more than happy to be able to build solidarity networks through mutual aid, mutual aid like this exists because the system is failing. If you’d like to get involved with our organizing efforts to push the city to fund municipal snow removal, please email us at buffalosnowbrigade@gmail.com
