Volunteer Cranberry

The Leaf Angel Program matches dedicated volunteers with Cranberry Township residents who are unable to rake and collect leaves during the leaf collection season. Family, friends, and neighbors are encouraged to help a neighbor in this simple but truly important way. 

Volunteers can sign up here, and the application for requests opens October 13. The program runs from November 1 until the end of yard waste collection.  

Visit the Leaf Angels page to learn more and fill out an application.

Winter storms and snow-covered sidewalks can be hazardous. Cranberry Snow Angels is a program designed to help minimize the difficulties of snow storms by matching community volunteers with elderly or disabled residents to assist with snow removal.

Snow Angels will be partnered with residents to remove snow and help keep sidewalks and driveways safer for everyone. Applications for volunteers open November 17. Applications for requests open December 1.

The program runs from December 15 until the last snowstorm of the season.

Cranberry Township's Adopt-A-Roadway program focuses on clearing debris from approximately 30 miles of the Township’s Collector Roads. 

Our volunteers consist of individual Township residents, members of local organizations, and Township-based businesses. Altogether, 23 groups have committed to cleaning their adopted sections of roadway at least twice per year adding up to 400 volunteer hours annually.

The Public Works Department provides our volunteers with all the equipment necessary to operate safely, including safety vests, traffic signs, pickup tongs, and garbage bags. Additionally, each roadway receives a road sign acknowledging the adoptive organization.

Volunteer Cranberry has teamed up with 412 Food Rescue, a local nonprofit dedicated to saving food from going to waste and fighting food insecurity! 

The program uses a network of volunteers to complete food rescues: volunteers pick up fresh, donated foods from local donors (grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, etc.) and deliver them to churches, shelters, or homes who will be able to use it. 

With the 412 Food Rescue app, available for download on most smartphones, volunteers can view opportunities nearby and rescues can take as little as 30 minutes. Food rescues are family-friendly, and becoming a volunteer is as simple as downloading the app to your phone!

Once you claim a food rescue, the app will guide you step by step, providing important information like where to go, who to call, contact names, and specific drop-off instructions. There are several opportunities in the Cranberry Township area.
