Winterization, a community service project, involves Purdue students preparing the yards and homes of the elderly and disabled in Tippecanoe County for winter. St. Tom's Justice with Peace (JwP) is coordinating a student-parishioner group for the event on Saturday morning, Nov. 13. Those interested in participating can sign up online and join JwP’s GroupMe for the latest updates, including carpool information. Volunteers will rake leaves, clean gutters, wash windows, trim shrubs, and do other winterizing tasks for the residents. Conversation with the residents is also important and will be accomplished this year by PHONE; not face-to-face. Many are unable to leave their homes regularly and have few visitors. This year we are hoping to have over 400 residents who are eagerly waiting for us to “Winterize” their homes.
