But don't SUVs prevent snow, and aren't all SUV drivers evil?!

SUVs needed to help get meals out to seniors
SPOKANE - The Meals on Wheels program helps get food and supplies to more than 500 homebound seniors but because of record snowfall over half of the volunteers who deliver meals had to cancel because they were homebound themselves.
...
Jennifer and Dylan are first-time volunteers who decided on a whim to hop in their SUV and brave the snowy streets not only because they were willing but also because they were able.

"When you have a four-wheel drive and they are asking for people with reliable vehicles to come on out, we thought well that's us,"
...
Mid City Concerns, which runs the Meals on Wheels program, is taking donations but more importantly right now they need volunteer drivers with SUVs to help get meals out to seniors and shut-ins because many of their regular volunteers are stranded in the snow.
