“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”
― Chinese Proverb
GMP Cares
We want to send a big THANK YOU to the employees of Green Mountain Power. On Friday, the employees at the regional office in Colchester donated 504 pounds of food to the Colchester Food Shelf through the GMP Gives program. Thank you for supporting the Colchester community!Help Fight Hunger – Day 29!
If you find yourself near Hannaford on Dorset Street in South Burlington, stop in and support the food shelf with the purchase of the Hannaford Fight Hunger reusable bags. The food shelf receives a $.25 donation for each Hannaford Fight Hunger bag sold! This is an easy way to support us AND add a nice reusable bag to your collection! Only two days left!
