WRAPAROUND FAMILIES
Your old furniture can be part of a family's new beginning
Help Furnish Loving Homes
Every day in Vermont, courageous mothers graduate from Lund's residential recovery programs ready to build a new life for their children. They leave treatment with strength—but often few belongings. That’s where you come in.
​
Through the Wraparound Families Project, your donated furniture and household items transform empty apartments into beautiful, functional, love-filled homes for moms and their children.
It’s more than furniture. It’s a message: You’re not alone. You are seen. you are supported.
How You Can Help
Whether you have furniture to give, time to share, or want to collect small comforts for a new home—there’s a way for everyone to make a difference.

Volunteer to Pick up Furniture
Do you have a truck or large vehicle? We need help collecting donations and bringing them to our storage unit in Williston.
Just a couple of hours a month can make a big impact!
We believe every mom deserves to start her new life with dignity, comfort, and community support.
​We are proud to partner with Lund, a Vermont nonprofit that has supported families for over 130 years through treatment, education, adoption, and child/family support services.
Together, we strive to help brave mothers leaving Lund’s residential recovery program feel welcomed into their new homes.
​
Our goal is to ease financial burdens—and to remind these women they are not alone. Every donated item is a symbol of support, solidarity, and care.
What is Lund?
Lund is a Vermont nonprofit serving families for over 130 years. They offer treatment, education, adoption, and support services to ensure every child grows up in a loving, safe home.
​
Why was Wraparound Families created?
After years of volunteering with Lund, I dreamed of activating the compassion of Clean Slate clients to support moms leaving treatment. By furnishing their homes with beautiful donated items, we help ease their financial stress—and show them they are not alone.
