For the third year in a row, Auburn Public Services will offer Sand Buckets for Seniors, delivering a free bucket of sand to senior citizens living in Auburn for use on their walkways, steps and driveways this winter. Auburn homeowners ages 65 and older who wish to receive a free bucket of sand to use on their steps and walkways should contact Auburn Public Services by December 16 at 333-6670.

“This program is a way for the City to show our appreciation and respect for the seniors in our community and to help keep them safe,” said Public Services Director Dan Goyette. “Our employees really enjoy connecting with residents in this way.” The program is made possible through the support of Home Depot and Lowe’s of Auburn, who are partnering with Auburn Public Services to reach out to local seniors to show them that their community cares.
