Sweetser has received a grant totaling $16,225 from the Billy Weiss Foundation. The funds will be used for clients in the Rockland and Mid Coast region for emergency needs.

The emergency funds have helped more than 40 clients and families for emergency expenses, ranging from transportation to appointments, rent, client hotel accommodations for some emergency situations, and heating fuel.
