Every day, Healthy Acadia partners with community members, organizations, and local leaders to meet critical health needs and respond to new challenges across Downeast Maine.
Through our free programs and services, we help individuals and families in Hancock and Washington counties stay healthy, safe, and connected—from nutrition and recovery support to youth engagement and disease prevention.
As a nonprofit, we rely on grant funding and the generosity of our community. Your support helps make this work possible.

It allows us to respond quickly, adapt to local needs, and continue serving our communities with care and commitment. It’s the generosity of people like you that allows us to keep going—and keep growing.
Every contribution—large or small—helps make a lasting difference in the lives of people throughout Hancock and Washington counties. Your support sustains programs that promote wellness, foster resilience, and bring people together.
