PORTLAND – Special collections in Maine Catholic churches for this spring’s flood victims in Aroostook County took in nearly $153,000.
Bishop Richard Malone says he’s overwhelmed, but not surprised by the size of the collection. The money will be distributed by Catholic Charities-Maine to individuals and families facing hardships as a result of the April flood.
Catholic Charities and the church are cooperating with government agencies to make sure flood victims are aware of assistance that’s available.
A disaster recovery center operated by state and federal emergency management agencies in Fort Kent will close at 6 p.m. Saturday. On June 16, the U.S. Small Business Administration will reopen that location as a disaster loan center.
To date, more than 500 people have visited recovery centers in Aroostook and Penobscot counties.
