Harbor Builders Associates is building the $1.2 million addition for Area Interfaith Outreach in Rockland, a 3,800-square-foot site.
Harbor Builders Associates, which is based in St. George and owned by Chip Bauer, is building the $1.2 million addition for Area Interfaith Outreach in Rockland, a 3,800-square-foot site. It is on track to open this summer. AIO Food and Energy Assistance supports more than 4,265 households (11,000 individuals) with food, and it works with local utilities to provide energy assistance support to over 600 households in 18 municipalities in the county. It is still raising money for the project and was helped recently by a $10,000 grant from Camden National Bank.
“We’re grateful for the generous support from our neighbors at Camden National Bank and our incredible community of donors,” said Liz Jenkins, AIO’s board president. “AIO is a vital and growing part of the web of services that holds our community together, and we can’t do it without working hand-in-hand with local organizations, public and private.”
