Overview
Lund is a Vermont nonprofit that supports children and families by offering an integrated mix of services. It runs a 5-star rated early childhood program, provides adoption services to place children in permanent homes, and operates residential and community-based substance abuse treatment programs for parents, including treatment while living with their children. The organization delivers parenting support, education, and childcare through a single umbrella to address poverty, addiction, and abuse. Its approach centers on wraparound services designed to help families heal, grow, and prosper together. Lund differentiates itself by being one of the few places in Vermont that allows parents to receive residential treatment while parenting their children and by combining education, childcare, and family support under one roof. Its goal is to strengthen families and break cycles of poverty, addiction, and abuse to ensure children have stable, healthy environments.
