“Island Connections is an important part of the life of Mount Desert Island. I can say this because I've seen first-hand what a difference they make to those who "need a ride" and can't drive for medical or age reasons. Sharing the front seat between two Island neighbors for a ride to the doctor's office is a wonderful form of social networking. Giving our seniors a much-needed ride helps alleviate the inevitable isolation that many of them feeling when living at home alone. Likewise, it helps families when Island Connections provides a ride for a loved one and frees them for their jobs and other responsibilities. Whether you need a ride, or want to share a ride and make a difference, call Island Connections anytime.”
