01 Take the BMN Pledge
We’re stronger when neighbors look out for one another. By taking the BMN Pledge, you’re making a promise to Be MinneSNOWta NICE by helping your neighbor(s) who need help with sidewalk snow removal keep their sidewalks and walkways clear so that our community stays safe, accessible, and connected in every season.
02 Make a Donation
With the rollout of our Sidewalk Snow Removal Pilot Program, we’re currently working with our partners to accept donations soon so you can help clear the way for Duluth neighbors who can’t afford snow removal and face physical limitations or disabilities. And the best part? Every dollar you give will be matched by us, doubling your impact for those who need it most.
03 Become a Partner
When local businesses and organizations like yours partner with us, everyone benefits. Together, we’ll strengthen community connections, spread kindness, and make Duluth a better place to live. From amplifying your values and collaborating on creative ways to delight your customers to boosting visibility, we’ll build a partnership that truly snowballs.
