Winter is coming! Are you a student who lives off-campus in Fort Collins? Then you are eligible to get a free snow shovel to help combat winter, courtesy of the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University, and our partnership with Joseph’s Hardware & Home Center!
The Shovel Snowdown program is intended for students living off-campus in a detached dwelling with public sidewalk shoveling requirements. On-campus housing and off-campus apartment complexes traditionally take care of shoveling public sidewalks.
Come visit Off-Campus Life on the Lory Student Center Plaza between 10am-2pm on Tuesday, December 3rd to earn your free shovel! OCL staff will provide a quick education about the Fort Collins snow ordinance to students who qualify for a snow shovel. If you successfully complete the 5-minute education, provide your name and CSU ID #, and complete a short survey, you can take home a free snow shovel. Unable to carry a shovel through classes or your commute home? Off-Campus Life will also allow students to opt-in for free shovel deliveries to their residences. First-come, first-served, so be sure to get there early!
