Our Mission

We Deliver Emergency Firewood

The Upper Valley Wood and Food Bank collects, stores, and delivers firewood on an emergency basis to people who need it desperately during the winter months to heat their home. In Vermont, many people depend on wood as their main heat source. We are often contacted when someone is almost out of wood, and we try to make a delivery to them within 24 hours.

We Support Local Food Shelves

In partnership with Black River Produce, the Upper Valley Wood and Food Bank supports the Reading/West Windsor Food Shelf, the Red Door Food Shelf in South Royalton, and the Lamoille Community Food Share with deliveries of fresh fruit and vegetables. We welcome donations to help continue and expand this program.


"These woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep."
