As a growing number of community volunteers descend on the MaineHealth COVID-19 clinics in Knox and Waldo counties, a common theme has emerged. Volunteers see the clinics as the largest – and most important – community events that Knox and Waldo counties have ever experienced.
And they want to be a part of it.
“It absolutely feels like a community event where everyone is pulling together for the sake of the town,” said volunteer Sandy Cox, in a MaineHealth news release. Cox is a Camden resident who volunteered after hearing about the opportunity during a meeting of West Bay Rotary.
“This is an all hands on deck situation for our community,” said Lori Van Dusen, a Camden resident who has volunteered at both clinics. “Volunteering isn’t some big, heroic thing – but it is important. We’re never going to get herd immunity if people don’t get this shot.”
