COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE

Thank you to those who have signed up to help shovel snow for the community! Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. The driveways and sidewalks of your neighbors are cleared, but more importantly, your community is a better place because of your selflessness. Visit orlandpark.org/ services/snow_removal/snow_angels to learn how you can volunteer to help!

Hydrant Helpers

In addition to the Village’s Snow Angels shoveling Program, Orland Park officials will be asking residents for their assistance in clearing away snow and ice blocking fire hydrants around the Village. Students who help with the cleanup efforts can earn community service hours for their time and hard work. Snow and ice should be removed around 3 feet away from hydrants in order for emergency personnel to access a hydrant in case of a fire.

In order to earn the credit, students should send before and after photos of the hydrant that was cleared and send them along with the address of the hydrant location, their name and student ID and the school they attend and email them to snowangels@orlandpark.org. Students wishing to participate in this effort should first contact their school's community service representative.
