С»ÆѼÊÓƵ

With the commitment of a strong volunteer base, Warmth for С»ÆѼÊÓƵ is able to provide free deliveries of firewood to homes that can use it to offset their gas or electric heat consumption. 

Volunteers work to cut, split and deliver donated wood every other Saturday morning from October through March. 

Volunteers are always needed for this project. The minimum age to volunteer for this project is 15. If you have a truck or trailer, or can supply your own tools to help cut wood at our wood lots, please contact warmthforwake@wake.gov or 919-212-7083. 

Both individuals and groups are welcome to volunteer. Groups of 4 or more people should contact the project coordinators in advance to reserve a work session. 

We are currently accepting limited donations of wood, when it is delivered to our work site at the City of Raleigh Yard Waste Center.   

Donors must contact Warmth for С»ÆѼÊÓƵ prior to delivery in order to receive a permission slip. 

 Additionally, donated wood must meet the following criteria to be accepted:

• logs must be a maximum of 24" inches in diameter 

Logs brought to the Yard Waste Center that do not meet the donation criteria may be refused or subject to the city's current disposal fees.  Visit the  for hours, location and fees. 

Please note:  we are not able to pick up wood donations or work off site to cut down or split logs that are located on private property.
