A Washington father of eight and his twin sons are helping heat homes for the holidays by chopping and delivering firewood to veterans, the sick, and people who are down on their luck. The father’s winter mission started five years ago, and this season it’s stronger than ever.
Shane McDaniel, 51, owns a beer store in his hometown of Lake Stevens. He learned to split wood with his late father as a child and now has eight children of his own: Jack, 9, Mario, 12, Ellis, 13, Natalie, 14, Wyatt, 18, twins Henry and Harrison, 25, and Maddie, 26.
