Community Breakfasts
HIP hosts a Community Breakfast six times a year. Everyone is welcome to attend. Many of our area’s nonprofit organizations are represented at these breakfasts and as we go around the table, each person introduces themselves and their organization and gives a brief description of their current activities.
Even if you are not involved with a nonprofit group, feel free to come and listen to all the amazing things going on here on Deer Isle. These breakfasts have become a wonderful way for all of us to learn what’s going on in the community, raise awareness of needs which may have been unknown to us, and a great introduction to volunteer opportunities. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to meet people we may not otherwise come in contact with. Please check our calendar and join us for the next Community Breakfast!

An excerpt from Lorraine Knowlton’s speech on Community Breakfasts at HIP’s Summer Reception 2008:
“Healthy Island Project Breakfast times are one of my favorite things to do. It is so wonderful to open my church up for this gathering…I am always amazed everytime we meet by the number of services that are represented for all the ages-toddlers to the elderly-and for so many needs.
It seems that the problems and needs are endless and for some I’m sure it seems like there are no solutions. These breakfast times together may not supply every answer, but they certainly give much hope. Everyone leaves excited, and wanting to be on board. It is up to us then to determine where and to what degree we can and want to be a part of all this.”
