Vermont Parent Child Center NETWORK?
VPCCN provides collaborative leadership, advocacy, and support to the state’s 15 Parent Child Centers to achieve the best outcomes for Vermont’s children and families.

News & Happenings
Vail-Stowe Mountain Resort supports family center through grant
For the seventh year in a row, Vail-Stowe Mountain Resort and the Stowe Giving Council have awarded Lamoille Family Center with an Epic Promise Grant for $10,000.
Like last year, the donation went to the Concrete Supports Outreach program which aims to meet the basic needs of babies, children, youth and their caregivers in Lamoille Valley.
The outreach program is open to any households in the Lamoille Valley with children living in the home. With the help of Epic Promise funding, LFC has been able to provide more grocery and gas cards than in the past, assist with utility bills and meet urgent needs that fall outside the scope of the larger state-funded outreach program.
