Green Mountain State Lights who are lighting our way — join us every WE CARE DAY, monthly on the 25th. One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.

Tell us — what made you feel good helping someone? Your story lights the way for others.
