The Island Producers Helping Islanders campaign moved to the rural areas of Elmsdale, Brudenell and Hampshire, where 1,500 care packages were handed out free at each location.
The campaign, put on by the government of P.E.I., the P.E.I. Potato Board and Amalgamated Dairies Ltd., began April 11 in Charlottetown and Summerside.
Volunteers also delivered packages to seniors, food banks and others in the area, according to a potato board spokesperson.
