Are you vaccinated or planning on getting vaccinated against COVID-19? Are you a resident of Hancock or Washington County? Through an initiative funded by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) COVID-19 Vaccine Equity Program, Healthy Acadia has two incentive opportunities for you this spring.
Share Your Story
Why is it important to you to be vaccinated against COVID-19? Now through June, the community health organization invites individuals ages 5 years and older who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and reside in Hancock or Washington County to share their story. Send Healthy Acadia your 30-60 second video from your mobile phone, or share your story in writing (150 words or less) via text or email. For every video or story submitted, Healthy Acadia will award a $25 stipend, up to a maximum of five (5) paid submissions per person, while funding lasts. Be a part of a creative solution to the pandemic. We can beat this together.
Submit your video or narrative by email or text to Nina Duggan at nina.duggan@healthyacadia.org or 207-271-6023.
Enter to Win
Now through June, Healthy Acadia invites individuals ages 5 years and older who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and reside in Hancock or Washington County to enter for a chance to win a $50 gift card to a local business of the winner’s choice. In line with Healthy Acadia’s mission, gift cards cannot be issued for businesses that exclusively sell products that contain alcohol, tobacco, and/or maijuana. One gift card per county will be awarded each month to eligible individuals who enter to win.
The monthly drawing will run through June 2022. Any resident of Hancock or Washington County who has been vaccinated against COVID-19 is eligible to participate. Proof of vaccination is required.
