The Colchester Milton Rotary welcomes Eric Axelrod, Founder/CEO of Wood 4 Good, as our featured speaker.
In 2019, Eric Axelrod and his two young sons, Devin and Logan, realized they had more firewood than they needed. They decided to give the extra wood to neighbors in need. After one delivery, Devin told his father:
“I want to do wood for good every day.” That idea - giving away surplus firewood to warm people’s homes - was the seed for Wood4Good.
From that humble start, Wood4Good grew from a fledgling nonprofit into a more structured organization. To date, they have helped 600 families. In one past winter alone, they delivered 150 loads of firewood, totaling 190 cords. Their goal going forward is to grow their reach by ~20% annually and expand into regions like the Mad River Valley that they haven't yet served.
They view their mission as not just providing wood, but building community, giving back, and spreading warmth (both literal and figurative) across Vermont.
If you would like to order lunch, please arrive by 11:30. The Meeting officially starts at noon.
