TVA and Sheriff’s Office Offer Free Firewood to Elderly and Disabled

The Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority, is offering free firewood to citizens of Sevier County who are disabled and/or 65 years of age and older.

This program will be offered free of charge to eligible residents on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Tennessee Valley Authority has volunteers who have donated their time to cut, split, and stack the firewood while deputies from the Sheriff’s office have volunteered their time to load and deliver the firewood to each location.

If you or someone you know can answer YES to any of the following questions, the Free Firewood Program could be for you or someone in your family:

• Do you use a fireplace as a primary method of heating your home?
• Are you dependent on an assistive device (walker or wheelchair) to move around?
• Do you use service animals to assist you in day-to-day activities?
• Are you over the age of 65?
• Do you live in Sevier County?

How to apply for the Free Firewood Program

Those in need of free firewood are asked to visit the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office website and fill out the form.
