Heating Assistance, Firewood, Project W.A.R.M.

The Salvation Army and Project W.A.R.M. (Wood Association of Richmond Metro) provides high quality firewood to needy individuals in Central Virginia who heat their homes with wood burning stoves.



The Project is a joint effort between the City of Richmond, the Richmond Salvation Army, the Richmond and Tuckahoe Jaycees and Louis Wilson, the founder of Project W.A.R.M.



Volunteers from the Jaycees and community split and stockpile firewood during spring, summer and fall then deliver it, throughout the winter, to families identified by the Salvation Army.  The Richmond Salvation Army administers the program, handling the screening process and notifying the Tuckahoe and/or Richmond Jaycees after a qualifying client has been identified. The wood is then delivered to their home by the Jaycees.
