The 20,000 sq. ft. retail space is scheduled to be open in October 2023. Dixie Shaw, Director of Hunger & Relief Services at Catholic Charities Maine, said “I’m very excited for Catholic Charities to be a part of all the good things happening at the Aroostook Centre Mall.”
Loading Dock for Services
There will be an outside and inside entrance to the “Catholic Charities mega-store.” A dedicated loading dock is also a feature for the community-based charity.
Feeding the Hungry
Shaw said, “the convenient access and vision for this space aligns well with our mission to feed the hungry and to be a vital part of the local community. Raising money through our thrift store sales is critical to our bottom line and our ability to feed folks throughout Aroostook County.”
