Lawson’s Finest Sunshine Fund donates to Amy’s Armoire
Lawson’s Finest Liquids of Waitsfield has selected Amy’s Armoire as one of their May donation recipients. Amy’s Armoire was founded by Amy Anderson of Waterbury. In honor of May being Foster Care Awareness Month, from May 1 through 15, donations at Lawson’s Finest will benefit Amy’s Armoire whose mission is to improve outcomes for Vermont foster/adopt/kin children.
Lawson’s Finest launched their Sunshine Fund in 2018, when they opened their Waitsfield brewery, taproom, and retail store. The Sunshine Fund harnesses the generosity of their taproom guests with the goal of helping local communities thrive.
While this is only the second year that Amy’s Armoire has been in operation, and despite being 100% volunteer run, they have created a retail location, donation center as well as a newly-created Family Center. While all three sites are located on Main Street in Barre, Amy’s Armoire supports foster/adopt/kin families anywhere in Vermont, as well as local birth parents.
