On Saturday hearty and helpful Buffalonians will be heading down to the Old First Ward, with shovels in hand, to help dig out some of their urban neighbors who have had a rough time over the past few days.
A Facebook group has been started (see here) so that volunteers may follow the initiative that is being led by a number of citizens who live in the City of Good Neighbors. The City has granted the volunteers permission to head in to help dig out those in need.
At this point it is anticipated that there will be well over 100 people joining together in the effort.
