Join us for our Annual Wood Bankquet, a celebration of community spirit! 🎉

Let’s celebrate the phenomenal results achieved by our dedicated volunteers, who have worked tirelessly to support families in need. We’re thrilled to welcome Wood Bank leaders and volunteers from all the local wood banks (including Freeport, Midcoast Wood Bank, Bethel, Buxton, Kennebec Wood Bank, and Cumberland Wood Bank) together in one place.

Join us for a delicious pizza buffet for just $20, where $10 goes toward expanding our volunteer-run network of local wood banks. What a tasty way to make a difference! 🎉

Can’t wait to see you there! 🍕

Well that’s a wrap on our season - the last few sticks left the woodbank yesterday. We’ve distributed all of our seasoned firewood, more than 40 cords going to families in Freeport, Pownal, Durham, New Gloucester, Gray, and Windham. Thanks to all of our amazing volunteers, sponsors, and partners who made this possible. If anyone has seasoned firewood that won’t be needed, we can help distribute it.
We’ll start processing more firewood in the spring after the snow melts.
Stay warm, stay safe, and take care of one another.

When I look at the Freeport High School students who came to the woodbank this afternoon to clear a path through 20” of snow so we could access the last bits of firewood, I’m reminded that the sense of community runs deep within our town. And the work that FHS does to foster this value will make it a lasting component of our culture. Thanks for your help today!

Brrr! What a great way to start the weekend! Several volunteers showed up this morning to brave the frigid temperatures to bring warmth to some local Mainers in need.
Thanks for the amazing turnout! We still have some seasoned firewood left and if you need a few sticks to get you through the night, our bins at FCS were reloaded today.

So many volunteers showed up today to load trucks in the snow that I needed two pics to get them all in - and we still missed John, Matt, Fred and Karen! Thanks to our team for jumping in to help - 8 deliveries! And more on the list for next week. Stay warm!

What happens when fuel supplies are running low and you ask your community to help deliver firewood to neighbors in need? They come together to provide warmth! That’s what happened this week when we sent the call out to our volunteers! Thanks to those who organized a day of deliveries, using their own vehicles, bringing firewood to five households and refilling our emergency bin located at Freeport community services. Thank you!!
