The Kennector

08/05/2024

Do you like meeting new people and have a few hours to spare during the week?

Volunteer drivers are needed for the Kennector, an affordable program for adults in need of transportation.

The Kennector provides affordable transportation built on a classic neighbor-helping-neighbor model, powered by the kindness and generosity that exists in our three towns. At the heart of this program are trained and vetted volunteer drivers who register for timeslots of their choice to drive a neighbor within our 15 mile service area. Among other qualifications, drivers need to enjoy serving others, as the social contact provided by this service is an important part of this program.

The Kennector has provided over 2,400 ride segments since being launched two years ago proving how valuable the program is to our community. Volunteer drivers are needed now to support our 106 registered riders live an independent life in our community! Learn more about the program by calling (207) 604-1366 or register to volunteer at www.kennebunkmaine.us/Kennector

Our dedicated drivers have been volunteering their time driving residents to various locations within our 15 mile radius for the past 2 years.

Our program continues to grow - we now have over 100 registered riders! To fulfil all our ride requests, we need to expand our volunteer driver roster as well.

If you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering as little as 1 hour per week, please call us directly at 207-604-1366 to discuss what volunteering for The Kennector is all about. You are also welcome to stop by Town Hall and speak with staff directly about the program.

We look forward to hearing from you!

The Kennector follows the direction that RSU21 takes on days when there’s potentially inclement weather. RSU21 did cancel school again today Friday April 5, 2024 so Kennector rides are canceled as well.

We hope everyone stays safe on the roads today.

The holiday season has many of us feeling grateful for all we have and wanting to express our gratitude. From now until Thanksgiving, we'll share the Top 10 reasons for Giving Back, according to AARP, who ranked ten of the many motives people have for giving back in their communities and beyond.

You don't need to take our word for it (though we'll give it you!), volunteering with the Kennector does in fact make you feel GOOD! Our riders are so appreciative of the small act our drivers provide- driving them where they need to go- and you'll feel it and know it with each ride! Sig up to be a driver today, and see for yourself! https://www.kennebunkmaine.us/1121/The-Kennector
