The “Fire Wood Initiative” is a separate year-round project within the FCC. Downed hardwood trees which have been cut into wood-rounds are donated to the Fire Wood Initiative located at The Gathering Place, 650 Alwington Blvd., Warrenton, VA.
Volunteers cut, split and stack the donated wood and deliver this free fire wood to help heat the homes of qualified, needy clients during the fall and winter months. During the months of September 2022 through March 2023, volunteers delivered over 452 truckloads of seasoned firewood using over 3,500 volunteer hours. The spring & summer months are used to cut, split, process, and stack the wood for “seasoning” and storage.
Saturday, 13 April 2024 is a special "Let's Volunteer Day" to get the community out to support the Fire Wood Initiative.
