The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office has officially launched its free firewood program for 2026 in Hohenwald. This initiative aims to provide firewood to eligible community members in need of assistance during the colder months. By supporting those who require help with heating resources, the program ensures that individuals and families can stay warm throughout the winter season.
Inmates at the Lewis County Jail play a crucial role in this program, responsible for cutting and stockpiling the firewood. This aspect not only aids those in need but also engages inmates in productive work, allowing them to contribute positively to the community. Each qualified applicant will receive seven ricks of wood, which can be essential for heating their homes.
Applications for the firewood program can be conveniently picked up during business hours at the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office, located at 437 Swan Avenue in Hohenwald. The program specifically targets individuals who require assistance with heating resources, making it an important community service.
The distribution of the firewood will be organized carefully to ensure that all qualified applicants receive their allocation in a timely manner. The Sheriff’s Office encourages eligible individuals to take advantage of this opportunity, reflecting their ongoing commitment to serving the community.
As the program progresses, further details regarding the distribution process may be announced to keep the public informed. The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office remains dedicated to supporting the community through various initiatives, including this firewood program, which is expected to benefit many individuals and families during the winter season.
