A community effort to keep neighbors warm.

Local Axe aims to expand the reach of wood banks through a distributed volunteer network. We collect, process, and distribute free firewood to families in need.

Volunteer With Us

If you have the space and skills to process firewood, consider volunteering to do some good, get outdoors, and get some solid exercise.

Chop

Process the wood into manageable pieces and stack it to dry. This is the step that'll heat you too.
