The 2025-26 Snow Angel Program is NOW OPEN and accepting applications!

The City’s Snow Angels Program pairs older residents and people with disabilities with nearby neighbors to assist with snow removal on their sidewalks and walkways.

Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from a heavy snowfall or freeze, Snow Angels make our sidewalks safer for everyone.

Want to help “break the ice” for a fellow neighbor in need?

We need additional volunteers to help as many residents as possible. Sign-ups are OPEN NOW.

Visit: https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/snow-angels to become a Snow Angel today!

December 21, the winter solstice, is recognized as National Homeless Persons Memorial Day. Since 1998, Pittsburgh Mercy’s Operation Safety Net has honored this day with a candlelight vigil to remember those who have died while experiencing homelessness.

Tonight we paid tribute to the 25 individuals who are known to have died in Allegheny County while experiencing homelessness in 2025, and 4 individuals in 2024.

Pennsylvanians who need help paying their home heating bills so they can stay warm and safe this winter can apply for LIHEAP online.

LIHEAP assistance does not need to be paid back and is available in the form of cash and crisis grants.

Normally opened in November each year, the program was delayed due to the federal government shutdown but is open now through April 10, 2026.
