National Volunteer Week is a great reminder that giving back is part of who we are at MVP.

Through our Service Time Off (STO) program, coworkers come together year-round to support nonprofits across our communities—strengthening connections, creating impact, and sharing meaningful experiences along the way.

As Michael Della Villa, Chief Digital & Information Officer, shared, “Even a small amount of your time can make a meaningful difference—and you may be surprised by how many smiles, heartfelt thanks, and moments of connection you receive in return. It’s an experience that stays with you.”
