Groceries and Healthcare

We have been meeting with Lincoln Health, Boothbay Region Community Resources, the food pantry, and other area groups discussing a plan in which we can have police, fire, and other volunteers bring small amounts of basic need items to your door in the case of people from high risk groups who choose to stay out of the public, and do not have family or friends to assist.
