The town of Jay’s police and public works departments plan to participate in a collaborative program, Sand for Seniors.
Employees of the two departments will deliver a bucket of sand/salt to community members to use on their icy walkways or driveways. Because of insurance restrictions, they cannot spread the sand/salt.
Landlords should be supplying tenants with sand, according to a news release from Shiloh LaFreniere, town manager.
The program is for senior citizens that are otherwise not able to pick up sand/salt from public works on their own.
Paris Farmers Union has donated 50 buckets for this program.
To request a bucket or a refill, call 207-897-6766 or email jpdchief@jay-maine.org.
Same-day delivery may not always be available depending on manpower, so citizens should plan ahead.
