Volunteering in Sarnia-Lambton

VOLUNTEERING: A Great Way To Grow

Adopt-a-Driveway Volunteer

Posted by on September 21st, 2026

Description

Make a meaningful difference this winter by helping a neighbour in need. The City of Sarnia’s Adopt-a-Driveway Program matches volunteers with older adults and residents living with disabilities who require assistance clearing snow from their driveways, sidewalks, and windrows. As a volunteer, you’ll help ensure community members can safely access essential services, attend appointments, receive deliveries, and remain connected to their community throughout the winter season. Volunteers are assigned a local property and are asked to clear snow when accumulations exceed three inches. All equipment, including shovels, salt, and safety vests, is provided. Whether volunteering as an individual, family, school group, or workplace team, this is a rewarding opportunity to give back, stay active, and help make Sarnia a more accessible and caring community.
