Winterization 2024

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 outdoor chores for more than 300 local residents. This year’s Winterization takes place on the morning of Saturday, Nov. 9. Besides 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: Under the “Residents” tab, there is a link to a Google Form for residents to sign up.)
• VOLUNTEER: If you are a Boiler Catholic and want to volunteer, sign up by visiting this Google Form Link.

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, join the GroupMe to stay informed about details on the day. Email Bill Walsh, Hands and Feet of Christ ministry coordinator, with questions.
