Wood4Good is a Chittenden County Woodbank providing free firewood to Vermonters in need. We’re committed to warming our communities—one cord at a time. The need is great, and demand often exceeds what we can supply.

Wood4Good wants to serve the entire state someday, help us with that goal!
Wood4Good builds community by uniting people from all walks of life around a shared goal: ensuring no Vermonter goes cold in the winter. We’re planning to expand to a new wood yard to extend our reach across Vermont. This year, our goal is to grow by 20% in total cords distributed and begin serving families in the previously unserved Mad River Valley. Donate now>>
How did Wood4Good get its start?
In 2019, Eric Axelrod and his two young sons, Devin and Logan, discovered they had more firewood than they needed and decided to give it to members of their community who needed it. After making a delivery to a particularly grateful neighbor, Devin told his father, I want to do wood for good every day.
Since the inception of this idea, Wood4Good has grown into from a fledgling non-profit, to an organization that has helped 600 families since its inception. This past winter, Wood4Good was able to deliver 150 loads of firewood to families and individuals in need representing 190 cords delivered. It is our hope to continue to grow and expand our reach up to 20% this year.
Wood4Good and the Axelrod family believe strongly in the value of building community, giving back, and the joy that comes from working hard to help others. We hope you also see the value in the mission of this organization, and join us in creating a little more warmth in Vermont.
