Do You Need a Hand Shoveling?

Need some help digging out? Or, are you offering shoveling services? Let's try and help out our Newton neighbors during the blizzard.

As Newton works to dig itself out of this historic snowstorm, many residents may be stuck inside unable to shovel.

The city of Newton has compiled a list of locals who are willing to shovel sidewalks and driveways for a fee. Information on where those shovelers live (neighborhoods), and their contact info, is available on the city's website.

But if your name is not on the list and you're willing to help out a neighbor with some shoveling, leave a comment below to let people know.

The city of Newton's trial snow shoveling ordinance asks all property owners to shovel sidewalks in front of their homes within 30 hours of a storm.
