Boiler Blast &
NCNA Clean Sweep -
Students Give Back to the New Chauncey Neighborhood & West Lafayette!
The Boiler Blast is an annual event organized by the Boiler Volunteer Network at Purdue University. Boiler Blast gives 
students an opportunity to give back to the community by volunteering to do odd jobs, pick up the streets and alleys, and assist on light construction projects. The residents of the New Chauncey Neighborhood and greater West Lafayette benefit from the student service and the students have a chance to give back. It is a true win-win for everyone who participates.
The New Chauncey Neighborhood residents complete the request for supplied by the Boiler Volunteer Network in early February describing what tasks they would like to have some assistance with. These tasks can be pretty much anything from cleaning windows to washing cars or from plating trees and shrubs to work on retaining walls or other construction type projects. The Boiler Volunteer Network then organizes the student volunteers into teams and assigns them to the requested projects.
Boiler Blast service request forms are generally available from this page in February and are due back by the end of February to ensure students can be scheduled for your tasks. Please check back here after the first of the year.
The 2009 Boiler Blast was the best ever - from organization to participation, the day was spectacular. The New Chauncey Neighborhood wants to say
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Many thanks to the Boiler Volunteer Network and all who organized and participated in the Blast!
The 2008 event was also a great success for the students, Purdue, and the New Chauncey Neighborhood! Check out the photos.
