Donal Collins Town of Chatham Supervisor

Attention Firewood Users in the Town of Chatham

We will be giving away free firewood for the NEXT winter burning season this evening (3/31 from 5:30-7:00pm) and tomorrow morning (4/01 from 9-11am) at Crellin Park adjacent to the Community Garden. This is wood for Town of Chatham residents (including Village) and Town employees truly in need of heating assistance and not meant for outdoor ambiance. It is not seasoned and is not for immediate use. Please take what you need and leave some for others.

And now the inevitable legalese:
Those who remove firewood do so agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Town, its officers, agents, donors and employees, from and against any and all claims, suits,
liabilities, costs, damages and expenses arising out of or in connection with the firewood giveaway program.

My heartfelt thanks to our crew of volunteers who helped cut and split the recently culled trees:
****Mike West, Tim Mackerer, Evan Young, Matt Pirrone and Jay Rippel****

Stay Warm, Chatham.

Fantastic news, Everyone.

The Recharge and Renew Respite Program will officially open its doors on Friday, February 20th. After many months of dedicated effort and thoughtful planning, we’re ready to offer vital support to caregivers in Northern Columbia County.

Please call the OFA office at 518-828-4258 and ask for Intake to learn more and register.

My sincerest thanks to all involved, including but not limited to Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, Canaan Supervisor Brenda Adams, OFA Director Nina Benvenuto and Michele Kraham and the hosts of the activities at St. James Church and the Canaan Congregational Church.

Please help spread the word on this fantastic resource for caregivers, and hopefully this can lead to other openings in Columbia County.

With Love,

Donal
