On Thursday, November 14th, Pam Porter (AGH Grant Manager) took a trip to visit Interfaith Caregivers Heat-A-Home project in Webster, WI. Denny and Barb Blodgett started Interfaith Caregiver’s in 1992 after learning that the road crew was widening a road near their house and would be taking trees down and planned to burn the wood that was harvested. The Blodgett’s asked the county if instead, they’d bring the trees to their property where the logs were split, stored, and stacked. Today, they distribute 218 cords to 125 homes every year.
