"Running for charity takes something that is inherently selfish and makes it selfless."

Island Connections seeks to provide free services to the elderly and people with disabilities on Mount Desert Island and the surrounding off-shore islands that will enable them to live independently and with a strong quality of life. Island Connections recruits volunteers from all of the communities on Mount Desert Island to provide services on a one-on-one basis to those Island neighbors in need. These volunteers come from all walks of life and from all age groups. They are generous, caring people who have a genuine concern for helping others. Each volunteer is given orientation training before working with our neighbors.
