Firewood Ministry

Our firewood lot off of Hinton Center Road is open year round on Wednesdays, 9am – 1pm. Pick up what you need by the carload or truckload at no charge. To get firewood, first check in at Hinton’s Administrative Office at 2330 Hinton Center Road to complete a form for the wood lot volunteers to help us track wood distribution.
NEED FIREWOOD DELIVERED? We can deliver if you aren’t able to pick it up yourself or have family/friends get it for you. Click HERE to send a firewood delivery request.
NO WOOD DONATIONS ACCEPTED AT THIS TIME. We are at capacity. Please check our website to see when we are receiving wood donations again.

Safe & Healthy Housing Assessment & Home Repairs
Did you know your zip code can be a better predictor of health than your genetics? Hinton Center wants to see our entire community’s health and safety improve, so there are no financial requirements for having us do a Safe & Healthy Housing check at your home! We offer the home assessment and repairs to residents of Clay, Cherokee, and Towns counties.
For Hinton to do repairs and/or address other safety and mobility issues at your home, such as installing smoke detectors or building an accessibility ramp, there must be financial need or extenuating circumstances.
To get started, download, print, and read both pages of our Safe & Healthy Housing Assessment form linked here: Safe & Healthy Housing Assessment Information. Next, click on the Safe & Healthy Home Repair online application linked here, complete, and submit: Online Application. You can also download the application HERE and mail or bring it to Hinton Center at 2330 Hinton Center Road, Hayesville, NC 28904.
