Lund is the proud recipient of a $15,000 grant from NorthCountry Federal Credit Union to support Lund’s Early Childhood Education Program (LECP). NorthCountry’s grant program offers funding to non-profit organizations in northern Vermont that align with their community giving mission: providing individuals with the tools and opportunities to thrive and experience safe, enriched lives.
LECP is a 5-STAR rated, trauma-informed childcare center that provides high-quality care and education for 40 children aged two weeks to five years. NorthCountry’s investment in Lund and LECP will directly support a strong start for children- especially those struggling with poverty, abuse and/or the effects of early trauma. “We want every family to enjoy the peace of mind that comes from financial security. These funds will help support Lund’s long history of breaking the cycle of poverty through education and compassion,” says Bob Morgan, CEO of NorthCountry.
“Family is at the heart of everything we do,” says Tricia Coates, Lund’s President and CEO. “We are incredibly grateful to partner with NorthCountry, who shares Lund’s commitment to support families who are working towards a better life for themselves and their children. We are especially grateful for their support of Lund’s childcare program, which has continued to provide child and family centered care during a time when families have needed support the most”.
Lund helps children thrive by empowering families to break cycles of poverty, addiction, and abuse. Lund offers hope and opportunity to families through education, treatment, family support and adoption. Lund is a member agency of the United Way of Northwest Vermont.
