Who We Are
Freeport Wood Bank is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to addressing heating insecurity in our community. Our team includes neighbors, friends, and local leaders who come together to make sure everyone stays warm during Maine's cold months. Our mission is grounded in community spirit and mutual care.
What We Do
We gather logs, cut and split them into firewood, stack and store the wood, and then deliver it directly to families who need it most. Beyond firewood, we also provide guidance on proper wood burning practices and work with local fire departments to ensure homes are equipped with smoke detectors and chimney inspections, keeping our neighbors safe all winter long.
