National Life’s IT department refurbished more laptops and components, this time for a nonprofit called Jenna’s Promise.

Jenna’s Promise is a recovery community in northern Vermont with a whole-life approach to the treatment of substance use disorder. Their services include recovery with sober housing, treatment services, a support community, and an innovative work program that provides valuable job skills.

The National Life Foundation recently donated $1,000 to the Christmas for Kids program in Barre. Michael Boutin, one of our employees, is a member of the Barre city council and an active participant in helping get kids and families what they need during the holidays.

National Life is a proud sponsor of the Vermont Folklife Center, which is currently exhibiting Voices from Home, a project that explores the experiences of Vermonters living in affordable housing through audio recordings and painted portraits.

The National Life Group Foundation recently donated $15,000 to Just Basics, Inc., also known as the Montpelier Food Shelf.

Like many things in a COVID world, the arts has taken a hit and in some cases, programming has been eliminated altogether creating a cultural void that may never be filled without help. In response and as a way to give back, National Life is proud to recognize these local organizations for the impact they make. We encourage you to check out their missions and consider supporting them either through your time, donations or in some cases, purchases of products or services. They may also be a great match to Share the Good if you are looking for suggestions.

Since 1986, drivers coming off I-89’s exit 8 sped past a granite monument at the base of National Life Drive. It memorialized the “Challenger Seven,” the astronauts, including New Hampshire teacher Christa McAuliffe, who perished when their space shuttle exploded after liftoff. National Life had maintained the monument for nearly 35 years until this fall…when it suddenly wasn’t there.

The Central Vermont Humane Society (CVHS) is looking for a fur-ever home for these cuties!

Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm are two great dogs who are looking for homes, either together or separately.

As the pandemic continues on, so does the need in our communities.

To help children in both Texas and Vermont whose season might not be so bright, we’re providing two additional ways you can easily give back.

A few weeks ago, our CIO and member of the National Life Group Foundation board of directors, Nimesh Mehta, stopped by Equest to visit Rey, the therapy horse our Foundation funds.

National Life’s IT department is doing good again!

Recently they refurbished and donated ten computers and two monitors to Prevent Child Abuse Vermont so their clients have access to remote support. Mary Thon, Development Director for PCAVT, stopped by to pick them up.
