I know that Newtown is pretty "over" the snow....but it is January and there may be more to come!  How about shoveling for donations?  You never know if you don't ask.  Make up some fliers and put them in your neighbor's mailboxes...or send out emails.....just be sure that you are letting them know what you are doing.  Also, remember one of my favorite "good ideas"....the use of the words minimum donation.  You can say you will shovel a sidewalk for a minimum donation of $15, but they can certainly donate more!  Remember, too that a person does not have to give you cash or even write you a check, they can go directly online to your personal web page and put on a tax deductible donation on their credit card.  Happy shoveling!
