The volunteers bring their shovels and help clear those sidewalks for those who cannot. They are part of the Denver Snow Angels force that helps people avoid fines for not clearing their sidewalks. 

First-time Snow Angel Paul went to work at a home near James A. Bible Park in Denver.

"I was on my way to work today and got the message and I said, 'Oh, I'm turning around and I'm going to shovel some snow and go help somebody."
