Merriam Fund helps residents who might be in difficult situations.
Editor's note: From the Town of Weston website.
Even in Weston, there are people on limited incomes for whom paying the basics like utilities can be a problem. Sometimes it can be embarrassing for them to ask for help, even from relatives and friends. There is a way they can receive assistance from the town in quiet and confidential ways: the Merriam Fund exists to help Weston residents in such difficult, short-term situations.
