Mount Desert Island Hospital extends its heartfelt thanks to the MDI Rotary Club for organizing the 20th Annual Adventure Golf Challenge at Pirate’s Cove, which raised $5,000 in support of the Hospital’s Food Insecurity Program. These funds will help ensure that patients have consistent access to nourishing food without barriers.
Last year, in partnership with Good Shepherd Food Bank, the Hospital launched “Help Yourself Shelves” at each Health Center —giving patients the option to take home a bag of food without needing to disclose that they are experiencing food insecurity. By removing this barrier, use of the program tripled, showing just how impactful accessible support can be. The proceeds from the Adventure Golf Challenge will allow this program to continue, ensuring no patient has to go without critical nourishment for themselves or their family.
“We are deeply grateful to the MDI Rotary for championing this cause and for their ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of our communities,” said Chrissi Maguire, President/CEO of MDI Hospital. “Their partnership in this event along with the community support allows us to provide essential food resources to patients who might otherwise go without.”
Thank you again to the MDI Rotary, all event participants, and generous sponsors. The Mini Golf Challenge not only raised essential funds—it also helped raise awareness of an important issue that many in our communities face.
