With just under $500,000 received, Button said, the time has come to look at how that money will be used. Button said money collected by all three entities will be combined for use in the rebuilding stage of the Fiona relief effort. “One time during COVID we had a shortage of toilet paper and paper towels. Now we’re overrun with it. It’s gone from one extreme to the other.”
