Community Woodbank

Thanks to Antrim resident Carol Healey and the Samuel P. Hunt Foundation, cordwood for the 2006/07 community wood bank will stay dry under a new wood shed.  Carol researched and wrote a successful grant proposal to the Hunt Foundation to build the shelter as part of a grant writing course at Springfield College School of Human Services.  Carol is in a Masters program for Management and Organizational Leadership, and the grant writing course was an elective.  Says Carol, “The professor asked students to target a real world need for a nonprofit organization in our community.  So, I thought of The Grapevine.”  We’re glad she did.  Construction of the shed is slated to begin soon.  Thanks, Carol!

The wood bank provides firewood to families and individuals who use wood as a primary heat source and can’t afford to buy it.  Last heating season the wood bank help to heat 14 homes in Antrim and nearby towns. If you or someone you know needs firewood, please call The Grapevine or stop in during office hours.
