NORTH WILDWOOD – Following a winter storm that produced approximately four inches of snow in the city Jan.12-13, North Wildwood has released a report on the city’s first trial run of the North Wildwood Volunteer Snow Removal Program.
“This storm was just large enough to activate our volunteer program, which is only activated when it snows over two inches,” stated Mayor Patrick Rosenello.
“I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of all of our volunteers who went above and beyond the call of duty to help and assist our residents,” stated Rosenello.
The program was activated at noon Jan. 13. Volunteers met at the North Wildwood Recreation Center to break into groups and divide up properties that needed to be shoveled.
In total, 14 volunteers shoveled and salted for senior citizens and disabled persons in North Wildwood.
Volunteers worked between two and four hours, totaling 34 hours of community service. Over 61 properties were shoveled and salted on that day.
“The shoveling program allowed us to assist many of our residents, all of which were in need, due to the danger and nature of the activities. All in all, it was a great success and a big thanks to all volunteers,” concluded Rosenello.
