This past month Keller Williams team members volunteered on our Saco Campus and at our Sanford office as part of their RED Day annual day of service! They landscaped at both locations, refreshing planting beds, raking and more. Shout out to Eldredge Lumber & Hardware for their generous donation of 14 bags of organic mulch that the team used at our Sanford location.

The Portland Sea Dogs held a Mental Health Awareness Night and Sweetser was proud to participate. Our CFO John McAnuff even threw out the first pitch. Events like this help reduce the stigma attached to seeking support and treatment.
