FYI: This campaign is still accepting donations for firewood. If you, or anyone you know has an interest in hosting a fundraiser, please contact us directly. We have absolutely zero interest in stopping.
For reference and out of our desire to be completely transparent, each delivery costs $1,235.
600 for wood (market price for 4 cords of Ash and Oak)
150 for gas (it's an 8 hour round trip for Jeff)
450 for labor (chopping wood, delivery)
35 for Paypal fee
**************************
Jeff has asked us to help coordinate any wood wished to be purchased from those on the front lines--he's been approached by several parties at camp and feels more comfortable working with us since we have a pretty good system down!
So if you're at any camp and want to purchase wood for delivery, please contact me directly, through here or facebook. Let's make it happen!
Thank you!
