April is National Volunteer Month, and what better way to celebrate than to sign up to volunteer for your favorite cause or nonprofit! We would be happy to help connect you to the right project.

Many, many thanks to the team at Concord Group Insurance Companies at the Barre, Vermont office! Their team of three collected two boxes of non-perishable food and a check for the food shelf in Montpelier!

Using the workplace to connect with employees directly, Working Bridges helps working Vermonters to reach stability and thrive while supporting human resource departments, reducing employee turnover, and increasing productivity. We helped more than 1,600 people at 32 companies in 2024. See our Impact Report for all of the details!

Thanks to North Country Federal Credit Union, this $15,000 grant supported United Way’s Working Bridges 185 Fund and Bridge Fund, managed by Green Mountain United Way and United Way of Northwest Vermont to support employees across eight counties in Northern Vermont.

Green Mountain United Way was awarded $19,500 to expand our food access programming within Working Bridges for Vermont’s essential workforce, primarily serving Washington county and the Northeast Kingdom.

On a snowy night in February, more than 50 women joined us for a viewing of “M-Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause” and a discussion with CMVC ob-gyn Dr. Colleen Horan. Stay tuned for more on this topic!

Green Mountain United Way was formed by a formidable woman, Lilly R. Keve, and went on to be almost entirely women-led for its entire history. This year, we’re celebrating 50 years of partnerships and accomplishments!

Knowledge, Equity, Empowerment, and Partnership. These four elements lead to financial stability, financial success, and financial freedom.

Columbia Forest Products staff donated 200 hours of community service during a staff volunteer day, organized with support from Green Mountain United Way.
