Community Wood Bank

October 15, 2021


Firewood is available at The Grapevine Family & Community Resource Center in Antrim on a short-term, urgent basis for area families and individuals who use wood as a primary heat source and cannot afford to buy it. The Community Wood Bank at The Grapevine is open Monday through Friday 9am to 1pm during winter, or by appointment. Call 603-588-2620.

Due to a limited supply of firewood, the wood bank is intended for urgent and emergency use only. The Grapevine also assists callers with long-term heating resources through the Southern NH Services fuel and electric assistance program.

The wood bank serves residents of Antrim, Bennington, Hancock, Francestown and nearby towns; and runs on donated wood and volunteer labor.

Community Tool Lending Shed

September 13, 2019


 The Grapevine Community Tool Lending Shed was built in 2017, thanks to the generosity and dedication of local volunteers.  In June 2018, the Shed was introduced to the community and dedicated to the memory of two women, Kirstie and Suzanne, who were daughters of a local family.  The Community Tool Lending Shed works similar to a traditional library: Sign out and borrow, and bring it back. You must schedule a time to pick up tools; quick “how to” tutorials  can be provided at that time. The Community Tool Lending shed welcomes donations of gently used tools and equipment. 

An inventory of available tools and equipment can be found here.

Requests to borrow or donation offers should be directed to toolshed@grapevinenh.org.

People’s Service Exchange

In 2018, The People’s Service Exchange (PSE) underwent a transition.  We are always seeking opportunities to meet the changing needs of our community while being mindful of our own capacity and resources. Our goal is to embed the spirit and intent of the PSE into other volunteer led efforts, such as our Community Tool Lending Shed, where volunteers can lend their time toward light home repairs in our community.  For more information about the PSE, please contact Melissa Gallagher, Executive Director, at melissag@grapevinenh.org.
