Winter is beautiful in Boulder County when the Flatirons are dusted with snow, and the sun is shining overhead. But winter is also the time of year to take extra safety precautions. With unpredictable weather, its best to be prepared to rely on additional help for those days when the snow is accumulating and doesn’t seem to be stopping.
CareConnect is here to help! Although our services are available year round, we understand that there is increased need when the sidewalks are icy and the streets are piled with snow. Be prepared for the coming winter by connecting with CareConnect.
If you live in the City of Boulder, sign up for IceBusters. CareConnect will match you with a volunteer who lives in your neighborhood to shovel your sidewalk when there is a snowstorm. Because of limited funding, this program is only available in Boulder at this time.
And don’t forget to prepare your home for winter! Weatherization services are available through our Fix-It program and help keep your home warm and insulated, while saving you money on gas and electric bills. Weatherization services include replacing furnace filters, weather-stripping for drafty doors and windows, window plastic application, caulking and sealant application to window frames. Please call the Fix-It team at 303-443-1933 x 413 for IceBusters or weatherization services.
Enroll in the Carry-Out Caravan grocery delivery program. Even if you are able to grocery shop on your own, it’s good to have a back-up plan in case of a big storm. Our volunteers are extremely dedicated and deliver groceries no matter the weather! We will make sure you can receive the food and materials you need if you are unable to get out of the house. CareConnect has two Carry-Out locations that serve the entire county. To enroll in Longmont, please call 303-772-2262. To enroll in Boulder, please call 303-443-1933.
If you or someone you know would like help preparing for winter, please give us a call or visit our website. We are always in need of dedicated volunteers to help continue these programs as well! To enroll as a volunteer, please call 303-772-2262.
