Firewood Haulers for Mason, Lewis, Thurston Counties!

Volunteer Services (VS), a program with Catholic Community Services, needs volunteers to help deliver firewood during the cold seasons! VS works to provide volunteer help with essential living chores and transportation requests from low-income seniors and adults with disabilities throughout Mason, Lewis, and Thurston counties that are not in assisted living. Part of this is we oversee two small wood banks, one in Olympia and one in Shelton, where we deliver emergency truckloads of firewood to folks in need if they are running low or out of their own supply. As our program gets many requests throughout October - February, and as every year the number of people requesting firewood grows, VS is in great need of committed volunteers who have their own hauling vehicles to bring firewood to these clients in need. During non-cold months volunteers with capable vehicles are also needed to help haul freshly harvested wood from harvest sites and delivered to our wood banks for replenishment. VS offers mileage reimbursement for all driving involved in meeting a volunteer request, and volunteers are covered by Catholic Community Services extended liability insurance. Give the gift of heat to a senior in your community this holiday season and volunteer today!
