I started the snow angel program 22 years ago. Among the benefits of the snow angel program: Some elderly residents worry that if they are snowed in and have a medical emergency it will be difficult to get the help they need. Others were thankful that they have mobility -could get out of the house and be visited by friends. Last year, during winter storms, I left my shovel in the car and helped a few elderly residents clear their driveways. Speaking personally, not only did I feel good about being a snow angel but I enjoyed the exercise (and rewarded myself with some chocolates after burning some calories!).
