Clear Creek Wood Bank

About Clear Creek Wood Bank

Clear Creek Wood Bank is a nonprofit firewood giveaway in Buffalo, Wyoming, in Johnson County. It is a project of the Oversized Heart Foundation Inc. It cuts and splits firewood and hands it out to people who heat their homes with wood but cannot afford or physically make their own. It coordinates with foresters, a local timber business, and private forest landowners to collect, cut, and give away firewood that has been sustainably harvested from the Big Horn Mountains. Its vision is "Ensure no one ever has to choose between eating and heating." In its fourth year of operation it gave away 137 cords to 959 families, drawn from 11 communities including Arvada, Banner, Buffalo, Cheyenne, Gillette, and Sheridan. It targets elderly, disabled, and veteran households, and others who cannot safely cut their own wood. Pickup is once a week, November through March, on Tuesdays from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at 97 US Hwy 16 East in Buffalo, and volunteers help load vehicles. It suits a private forest landowner who wants to donate wood to neighbors who heat with wood, not one looking for a buyer for standing timber or logs.
