, a local man is feeding hundreds of his neighbors and going beyond the basic food selection often offered in the wake of a devastating storm.
“I’ve been doing charity events in town for 20 years,” he said. “We want to take care of the community that takes care of us.” Most restaurants remained closed, except for a few food trucks, in addition to a couple of diners with few food options.

“We’re cooking things up,” he said, referring to Sunday night’s menu of chicken, coffee, rice and vegetables.
