We encourage everyone who would encounter barriers in maintaining a firewood supply through the winter to apply!

Yes, all application approvals are provided with split firewood delivered right to your door, 100% free of charge. Rocky Mountain Warm Hands Initiative will never ask for payment for its services.

Currently, we are servicing the immediate foothill communities outside of Boulder and Golden, CO. We encourage applications from all over Boulder, Jefferson, and Gilpin counties!

We are centered in the foothills of the Rocky Mountain Range. No one appreciates the serenity of nature more than us. Rocky Mountain Warm Hands Initiative ONLY sources our firewood from sustainably harvested forestry efforts that correspond with existing fire mitigation efforts. Without these fire mitigation efforts, wildfires would become more and more prevalent. It is a win-win situation for our community!

We appreciate everyone who reaches out to help our cause. Currently, we are unable to offer services such as tree felling. We harvest our logs from designated lots in Boulder, CO. While we always can pickup split firewood donations, we are currently not picking up full trees.

The wood we deliver is a combination of various Colorado-sourced hardwoods and Ponderosa Pine. In an effort to fit a variety of applications, logs are cut at 12 inches. All wood is stored and seasoned for at least 12 months.

Our goal is to supply as many households as possible. The amount of wood delivered depends on the submitted need statement on the application, as well as the available supply at Rocky Mountain Warm Hands Initiative. You can expect anywhere from a face cord (4ft x 8ft x 1ft), to a full cord (4ft x 8ft x 4ft).

Yes! Receiving a firewood delivery for one winter has no bearing on the next. You could be approved year after year if you submit an application each year. Applications typically open around the New Year for the following winter. Applications are accepted until July.

We collect applications immediately after submission. This collection period extends through the summer. Applicants will not be notified until August in an attempt for us to give an accurate approval letter describing the amount of wood provided. We do not prioritize early submissions. Each application will get thoroughly reviewed and considered after the application deadline in July.

We deliver the wood during early autumn to get ahead of the cold fronts. Expect to receive an email at the address provided on the application to coordinate a date and time. This email typically is sent in August.

Each monetary donation goes 100% to providing more applicants with firewood for the winter! We do not pay out salaries or incentives to anyone involved with the Rocky Mountain Warm Hands Initiative. Your generous gifts go towards maintaining and obtaining the necessary equipment and disposables involved with processing the firewood and delivery.

We are always excited to hear from people wanting to get involved and help! No matter your experience or abilities, there is a place for you at the Rocky Mountain Warm Hands Initiative. We can coordinate times to assist in splitting and stacking supplies, as well as loading supply from our sustainably sourced logging lots. Additionally, we would love to hear from those with existing equipment willing to provide their services and time towards building our supply.
