Maine’s Wood Bank Volunteer Opportunities

---

 Firewood banks are community based organizations which provide free emergency and seasonal wood for heating homes. They are often run entirely by volunteers who help split, stack, and store wood for pick-up or delivery.

Please reach out to individual wood banks about opportunities prior to any volunteer activities
