Snowbusters is a snow removal program that helps fixed-income seniors and disabled residents who can\u2019t remove snow from their sidewalks. Snowbuster volunteers are paired-up with a neighbor in their area, and when it snows, the Snowbuster goes into action clearing their neighbor\u2019s sidewalk. \u201cThese Snowbuster volunteers make a valuable difference in the lives of those in need,\u201d says Thornton Arts and Volunteer Specialist Heather Kailey. \u201cTheir work is really appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After each storm, Snowbuster volunteers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>have 36 hours to shovel their partner\u2019s sidewalks<\/li>\n<li>have 48 hours to clear the snow If more than eight inches fall<\/li>\n<li>don\u2019t have to worry about driveways, they are not included in this volunteer service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cSnow removal not only provides safe sidewalks for residents, but also for delivery persons and Meals on Wheels staff,\u201d says Kailey. \u201cIt\u2019s just a great service for those in need, and it really doesn\u2019t take that much effort from the Snowbuster volunteer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/volunteers.cityofthornton.net\/programs\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>* ThorntonWeather.com is not endorsed by or an official website of <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cityofthornton.net\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>the City of Thornton<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s comment &#8211; This is a great way to &#8216;give back&#8217; to the community and help those who truly need it.\u00a0 From the City of Thornton: Winter is coming: Snowbusters needed Snowbuster volunteers help dig out neighbors in need THORNTON, CO\u2026Winter is on the way, and while the snow isn\u2019t here yet, Snowbuster volunteers are &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/local-news\/thornton-needs-snowbusters\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Thornton needs snowbusters!<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1130"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16050,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130\/revisions\/16050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
