This last weekend was another good and successful Forks Lions Club and Quincy Men's Service Club Firewood for Food exchange. This marked 44 yrs of this project and a partnership with the club and community of Quincy, WA.

We had two log truck loads delivered to Quincy driven by Nick Worley and Barry Swanson. A huge thank you to those gentlemen for always supporting our club, Forks, and our surrounding communities.

A big thank you to M&R and Interfor Pacific for donating the loads. They have been supporting this project with wood for many of the 44yrs it has been going on. We look forward to a continued partnership with this project and similar ones in the future.

Additionally, we wouldn't be able to get the wood there without the hard work of the loggers who call our Forks woods home. Thank you very much for this, and all you do for our community. And thank you very much to Dilley and Soloman and to Forks Fiber for taking the time to cut, organize, and load our drivers with a seperate load (which were wonderful this year) at each of your operating sides.

This Forks Lions brought back produce from the local Quincy Farms to the Forks Community Food Bank which supports Forks, Clallam Bay, and surrounding homes and organizations every year.

This year's haul included:
7000lbs. Potatoes
3600lbs. Apples
2000lbs. Onions
200lbs. Pinto and soup beans
1500lbs. Carrots

The Forks Lions would like to thank Jerry's Rentals, Sales, and Services for donating chains, mix, bar oil, files, and hearing protection year after year; the Quincy Moose Lodge for hosting and putting up with us every year; all the Forks Lions members and guests who donate their weekend, trucks, saws, and trailers to the effort; the Quincy Men's Service Club volunteers who help make this happen every year; and to the Forks Community Food Bank for getting all the food we bring organized and delivered to our community.

Saturday was the fastest we ever delivered our pile of fire wood. 80 chord of wood in 2 hours and 15min!! The speed is due to all the amazing help we got this last Saturday.

I know many did not know what would hapen with OlyCap shutting down in Forks. This year we had to work off old lists and work on adjusting on a tight schedule. However, we are working diligently to start up a new way to get on the list each year and will be making calls throughout the year to confirm need.

We would like to thank all the amazing help and volunteers for donating your time, trucks, and fuel to keeping Forks area homes heated this and every winter. To Moody for donating a dumpbed truck this and every year; Mark Soderland and Morgan and Jen Rathgen for always donating your dump trucks and time every year; to Bruch & Bruch Construction for donating three three trucks this year and to Fuzzy, Carter Norbistrath, and John Hilcar for driving those; Ron Davis for donating your dump truck and time, Frank Ansdale and Mora Heavy Equipment for your dump truck and time, Drew Paul for your dump truck and time, Jessie Helvey for your dump truck and Derrik Rod for driving it, to ICI for the use of your front end loader and Dave Wickstrom for operating it, which together makes short work of a very large job. Thank you to all the Landowers we get wood from. And to the City for letting up park the wood at the industrial yard this year. And thank you to all the Lions who helped set this up and who helped on the day to deliver wood especially Joe Soha who makes all the phone calls to make sure we get this many great volunteers.

Lastly, a huge thank you to Scott Depew and all the Crew bosses at our prisons. With out your dedication and the work of your incarcerated individual crews we would not have wood to donate to the Forks community the way we do.💯

To wrap up, if we missed you in our list of volunteers let us know, or if we misspelled your name let's us know so we can fix that.
