WNC Firewood Ministry’s Mission, Vision, and Core Values
Our Mission: WNC Firewood Ministry is committed to providing free firewood and home heating support to Transylvania County residents in need.
Our Vision: No one should have to buy firewood for home heating! People should be able to heat their homes and keep their families warm in the winter. Doing so should not prevent them from feeding their families or skipping needed medications.
Our core values are community care and sustainability, guiding our mission to ensure everyone stays safe and warm during cold months.
