The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office and Channel 7’s Bill Spencer are holding ‘Bill’s Big Dig.? The program is an event to assist Oakland County’s senior citizens and disabled residents with snow removal.
When snow accumulates to more than three inches, supervised crews are sent from the OCSO’s Boot Camp to help residents. On the first visit, a supervisor from the OCSO will knock on the door of the resident to verify their status as elderly or disabled and in need.
Eligible residents are those who are not able to afford to pay to have their snow removed and are physically unable to shovel snow. In order to participate, Oakland County residents can call the OCSO’s Community Service hotline at 248-975-9700, hit key #5 and leave a message with their name and address.
