TESTING

Clear Creek Wood Bank was created to provide a supplemental heat source to those who heat their homes with wood and are unable to afford or physically perform the act of making firewood. We coordinate with foresters, a local timber business, and private forest landowners to collect, cut, and give firewood that has been sustainably harvested from the Bighorn Mountains. We provide a limited amount of firewood once a week, November through March.

VISION:

Ensure no one ever has to choose between eating and heating.

MISSION:

We provide a local, sustainable source of heat to those in need.

We are specifically targeting elderly, disabled, or those underserved who are not able to safely access and cut firewood as a heat source for their home.

What we accomplished
during the 2023-2024 winter:

We gave away 73.3 cords of firewood to 495 families, making up 952 people this winter. The families we served were from Buffalo, Kaycee, Banner, Arvada, and Sheridan.
From the families we served, 33% had at least one veteran, 36% had a family member with a disability, 34% were unemployed, 63% of our families were at retirement age, and 21% had at least one member of the family working part-time or full-time.
We had 700 volunteer hours given this winter season, which is double from last year! Special thank you to the Buffalo Christian Academy for bringing their students to help during our operational times - it made a huge difference.
