About


We are a group of neighbors raising funds to purchase firewood for unhoused relatives at several camps throughout the Twin Cities.

Between yurts, other structures, and prayer fires, camps can have multiple fires going at any given time and each camp needs a steady supply of firewood to keep people warm through the winter months. $800 purchases a large dump truck of firewood, which will last a few cold days and nights.

Everyone deserves a warm place to take shelter, most especially Indigenous neighbors facing the cruelty of being unhoused on their own homelands. If you've been blessed with the safety and security of stable housing, please consider sharing those blessings.
