CHERRYFIELD, Maine — Joe Ocampo said he wanted to help his neighbors in Washington County and found the ideal way—bringing them food during the COVID pandemic.
“It was a great opportunity to help those who need it and give back to the community,” he said.
Joe works for the Maine Seacoast Mission, which operates a food pantry in Cherryfield, serving homes all over that county. They’ve been doing it for years, but the demand doubled last year as many people were sidelined from work by the pandemic, and needed help to put enough food on the table.
