Grandpatractor has a thread on this subject going in the chainsaw forum:
http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/170526-5.htm but I thought I'd post it here in case someone who might be interested in helping doesn't read that side of the forums.
A quick background: For the last couple years, JD (grandpatractor) has gotten some of us saw nuts to come up to Danbury WI for a day each spring to cut up some log loads for Interfaith Caregivers. They are in my opinion a great charity, their main focus is helping older people stay in their own homes as long as possible, and helping others in need in the local area as well.
They kind of stumbled into the firewood business, with many of the people they help having wood heat and needing a source of wood. Most of the wood is purchased with donation dollars, as I understand it for a great price from local loggers (some is also scrounged locally or donated as well).
Anyway, the gentleman running it is understaffed, with him and his 80+ year old father doing much of the work in the beginning. As card carrying saw nuts, many of us are happy to help out. The first year we did this, we did about 25 cords, last year was 50 or so, and this year, we have 70+ on hand to cut up.
If anyone will be in the Danbury WI on Sat May 28th (the Sat of Memorial weekend), or wants to take a drive up and help, just let us know in the post linked above. Accommodations are sure possible if someone needs them.
And yes, we will have plenty of pics and video of it afterwards. Here are links to threads from previous years:
