By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- If you don't mind the cold and want to give back to your neighbors, you can help by becoming a "Snow Angel."

The city of Pittsburgh is now accepting applications for the 2020-2021 "Snow Angels" program.

They need people who can shovel snow and salt walkways and driveways for elderly or disabled residents.

In order to receive help from a Snow Angel, there are certain requirements you have to meet. Those include:

• Be at least 60 years old or have a physical disability
• Live within City of Pittsburgh limits
• Lack other resources (financial or family/friends nearby) to assist with snow removal
