Williams representatives were busy last week distributing the latest round of checks to recipients of the Atlantic Sunrise Community Grant program, awarding $365,000 to 42 deserving organizations throughout Pennsylvania.

One of the 42 recipients was the Clinton County Department of Emergency Services, which plans to use its $10,000 grant to aid in the purchase of much-needed equipment.

“This grant will be used to purchase much-needed equipment for our newly acquired foam trailer, as well as to purchase vital protective gear to help keep our crew safe,” said Robert Moore, Training Coordinator, Clinton County Department of Emergency Services. “We sincerely appreciate this grant and the support Williams is providing to the community.”

Emergency response organizations received about 60% of the grant award dollars ($214,963).

Grant applications can be completed online.  Applications must be received by March 1 and September 1.
