The Family Center's 2nd Annual Touch A Truck event was a remarkable success, attracting approximately 180 attendees. 🌟

The absolutely perfect weather conditions allowed for seamless amounts of fun with outdoor activities, including vehicle exploration and playground enjoyment. πŸŒŸπŸ›πŸ€©

Inside, the community room offered a serene space for children to design their own race cars and enjoying light refreshments such a freshly made popcorn, traffic light rice crispie treats, and lemonade. πŸΏπŸ‹πŸš¦

We would like to give a huge shout out to Heidi, Kayla, and Chef Ms. Andrea for hosting the fun! πŸ’•

And of course we all know this event couldn’t have been possible without the vehicles! A big thank you to Richard Pateta from Washington Electric Cooperative πŸ’‘, Caleb Hallstrom from Bee There Towing & Recovery 🐝, Pat Ryan from Casella Waste Management in Williston ♻️, Sargent Quesnel & Officer Rolland from Montpelier Police Department πŸš”, and Chloe Doyle from White Mountain Motorsports Park 🏎️.

What We Do

For Children

Child development is a process that involves learning and mastering skills like sitting, walking, talking, skipping, and tying shoes.

For Youth

Positive youth development services engage young people in intentional, productive, and constructive ways, while recognizing and enhancing their strengths.

For Families

All families should have access to economic and parenting supports to ensure all children have nurturing and stable relationships with caring adults.

Take Action

Every year, Vermont saves $2,131,041 when each of Vermont’s 15 Parent ChildΒ Centers prevents:

  • One woman from entering a correctional facility;
  • One teen pregnancy.
  • One child from needing foster care placement; and
  • One mother and child from requiring public assistance.

Help children thrive

2,865 individuals served in Central Vermont from July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021
