Day of Winterization Event Details

WHAT TO EXPECT DAY OF!

All volunteers will "drive-in" to First United Methodist Church (1700 W. Mitch Daniels Blvd., West Lafayette (just west of campus/horticulture park)) on Saturday, November 15th, 2025. Come with the carload with whom you plan to serve.
Check-in will begin in the morning at the designated time for your wave. Wave 1 registers from 8:00-8:45 am and Wave 2 registers from 9:00-9:45 am.
A snack bag will be given out during check-in, but we recommend you eat prior to the event/bring more snacks as well as a large water bottle.
During check-in, group leaders and drivers will receive the day’s instructions and directions to resident’s homes.
Service teams will receive directions to one or more homes where they will interact with residents and help winterize homes and yards. After a morning of service, everyone is invited back to First United Methodist Church to return their supplies and to enjoy lunch.
Lunch (free to all volunteers) will be served from 12:00-2:30 pm.
Supplies are provided, however, it would be wise to bring your own work gloves and any winterizing equipment you have (rakes, tarps, bush trimmers, ladders).
Be sure to dress for the weather! Winterization happens rain, shine, or cold unless conditions become unsafe.

GET A COMMEMORATIVE T-SHIRT

We sell long-sleeved T-Shirts! Each year our Winterization Leadership CREW designs a commemorative T-shirt that we sell the day of the event for $12. If you would like to purchase a shirt, you can either pay it to the administrative staff at Wesley Foundation (200 N Russell St., across from the Honors College) or stop by the t-shirt table on the day of to pay via cash or Venmo.

The T-shirt design will be posted here once it is completed in early-October.
