Umbrella Secures Ownership of St. Johnsbury Headquarters

ST. JOHNSBURY — The Northeast Kingdom interpersonal abuse advocacy program Umbrella celebrated purchasing their administration building yesterday. Umbrella is a program that offers various services to anyone affected by interpersonal violence. They have been operating in the Northeast Kingdom since 1976, and now, they own their headquarters building for the first time. Umbrella has been organizing services across the region, from its building on 1330 Main Street St. Johnsbury, for two years, but recently completed a fundraiser that brought in the necessary $600,000 to purchase the building.
