The city of Dubuque is accepting applications and seeks volunteers for a snow-shoveling assistance program. The volunteer-based DBQ Shovel Crew helps clear sidewalks of snow and ice for a particular address or addresses throughout the winter season. Eligible applicants for the service should own their residence and be physically unable to remove snow, while meeting income guidelines. The program has a limited capacity and operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with the number of volunteers dictating the number of applicants who can ultimately be accepted. Volunteers are encouraged to supply their own snow-removal equipment, if possible. Visit cityofdubuque.org/snowassistance to apply for assistance or to register as a volunteer.
