ReceivedFeb 3, 2026
In his February 3, 2026 letter to County Executive Elrich, Councilmember Friedson asked whether Montgomery County would consider a volunteer-based snow-assistance program modeled on Prince George's County's 'Silver Shovels' initiative. He cited reports of seniors and residents with disabilities unable to clear driveways and sidewalks during and after Winter Storm Fern. Friedson also asked whether the county's Volunteer Center could maintain a list of residents willing to help neighbors during severe weather.
