Purdue Winterization

Winterization is sponsored by Wesley Campus Ministry and is the single largest day of service for Purdue students. It also includes a large cohort of Boiler Catholic students as participants. Through Winterization, Wesley Campus Ministry is committed to helping older residents (and others who need help) in greater Lafayette/Tippecanoe County free of charge. Last year, 1,600 Purdue student volunteers raked leaves and did other outdoor chores for 320 local residents. This year’s Winterization takes place on the morning of Saturday, Nov. 4.  In addition to raking leaves, volunteers will be cleaning windows, clearing gutters, trimming bushes and branches, weeding, and other yard work. 

• NEED ASSISTANCE: If you would like assistance from Winterization volunteers, please sign up by visiting  https://www.purduewinterization.org/  (Note: There is a link to a Google Form for residents to sign up under the “Residents” tab.)
• VOLUNTEER: If you are a Boiler Catholic and would like to volunteer, please register online.  

Note: Since Winterization is organized by the Wesley Foundation, BC students who want to join fellow Boiler Catholics should select the "St. Tom's (Boiler Catholics)" group when they fill out the form. Also, after signing up, be sure to join the GroupMe to stay informed about details on the day. For questions, contact Tim Sloan, Hands and Feet of Christ ministry coordinator, at [email protected].
