HOME reflects on hard, but successful year ORLAND — HOME Inc., which operates four homeless shelters and two food pantries in Hancock County, held its annual meeting May 20 and remembered the unexpected challenges that operating in a pandemic brought the organization. The meeting was held via the online meeting platform Zoom because of the pandemic. “It’s been a hard year for all of you and we’re grateful to have helped you a little along the way,” said Tracey Hair, executive director. In the early weeks of the pandemic, HOME converted its daycare center into a shelter space using cots delivered by the Maine Emergency Management Agency.
