On our back lawn in Montpelier, VT
A family-friendly benefit concert
for Vermont Foodbank

Thank you New England! See you in 2026!

This year's National Life Group Do Good Fest® welcomed a sold-out crowd to its Montpelier campus on Saturday, July 12, raising more than $214,400 to support the Vermont Foodbank in its mission to end childhood hunger. Festival-goers from 44 states and Canada were treated to a dynamic lineup of national and regional acts, including The Fray, Plain White T’s, Sammy Rae & The Friends, Sixth Avenue Groove (Beats for Good contest winner), and The Kwame Vibe.

The event also featured:

  • 24 food trucks

  • A beer garden with Lawson's Finest's exclusive Do Good Brew Hazy Orange IPA

  • A sold-out VIP lounge

  • A Nonprofit Village with 24 local organizations promoting community causes

With an estimated 2 in 5 Vermonters facing food insecurity, the need for support is urgent. Thanks to the Foodbank’s efficiency, every dollar raised translates into four times its value in food and resources—bringing the total impact of this year’s event to over $840,000 in community support.
