FIREWOOD MINISTRY

The Firewood Ministry was added in January 2016 when four families shared a need for firewood to heat their home during the winter months. Any household that uses a woodstove as their main heating source can be eligible for free firewood one time per year. The process is the same as our financial assistance guidelines.
