The Maine Strong Memorial Foundation raised more than $656,000 for those impacted by the Robbins Lumber fire and explosion through its Searsmont Emergency Relief Fund. That funding campaign closed on June 17, but the foundation still accepted donations designated specifically for the Searsmont relief effort. The nonprofit will stop doing so after Aug. 31.
