PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Islanders are being asked to volunteer to help their elderly and disabled neighbors unable to remove snow from around their homes.
Serve Rhode Island and the United Way of Rhode Island say people in good physical condition can visit www.serverhodeisland.org to offer to shovel.
Anyone who needs help shoveling can dial 211.
The groups say they especially need volunteers to clear snow on Tuesday, before freezing temperatures set in overnight and before more snow comes in a storm forecast later this week.
Bernie Beaudreau at Serve Rhode Island says they have a growing list of people who need help.
