Agilent Upholds BioTek’s Longstanding Commitment to Serving Vermonters with Tech Donation to Renowned Family Resource and Adoption Center

South Burlington, VT — Agilent Technologies, Inc. today announced the donation of 200 computers to the Lund organization during a ceremony at the social service provider’s South Burlington facility. Lund clients and staff will use the donated computers in support of the organization’s education, adoption, treatment and family support services.

The refurbished computers, 175 laptops and 25 desktops, were previously used by Agilent employees working at the company’s BioTek Instruments headquarters in Winooski. The donation is a part of Agilent’s ongoing employee-driven commitment to nurturing community partnerships in Vermont.

Ginger Cooper, associate vice president for Agilent presented the computers on behalf of Agilent. “We are grateful to make this donation to Lund, an important local organization dedicated to child and family services,” said Cooper. “Agilent’s gift of 200 computers to this outstanding community resource is made to inspire and empower innovation and advancement in children’s education.”

“With this generous gift from Agilent, Lund will have the right tools to continue the work of supporting families across the state. We are grateful to them for recognizing Lund’s impact in treatment, adoption, and family services,” said Tricia Coates, president and CEO of Lund. “I’m also grateful for the intangible dimension of this gift. It is an affirmation for our dedicated staff that the essential work they do every day to support families is valued by our community.”

Several Agilent and Lund employees attended the event to share in the celebration, including an Agilent employee with a personal connection to Lund. As a child, Chrissy Reyome was adopted through Lund. In 2020 she adopted her now three year old son, Cameron through the organization. “I’m proud to work for a company like Agilent that gives back to the community and recognizes the importance of supporting organizations like Lund,” said Reyome. “Lund makes dreams come true! My parents adopted me through Lund when I was one month old. Twenty years later, Lund helped me to reconnect with my birth parents and facilitated our first meeting. Now, because of Lund I have my adorable son, Cameron.”
