{This was a very well communicated and organized event! I didn't use my VTO last year because I couldn't find anywhere to use it. I hope Progressive continues using the BVU site to provide awareness for local volunteer opportunities!

{Community outreach has become a large focal point for our team here at OverDrive. Partnering with BVU was one of the best decisions we made this year for OverDrive, our team and the community. It has ignited our desire to give back and has helped us do it with success and impact.

{Gathering to volunteer with my team really helped remind us of what’s important, strengthened connections between staff members, and left us all feeling inspired. It was amazing to meet and support passionate people who make the world a better place. Lots of us are going to go back and continue to volunteer.

{There was a strong sense of accomplishment and feeling like a community after spending the afternoon together supporting children's literacy. The experience and information gained encouraged me to prioritize reading more often in my daily life.

{This was my first time at McGregor and I hope it will not be my last. The resident I got paired with (Ms. Jo Ellen) had some amazing stories and I loved talking to her. I plan on coming back to visit her as well. This was my second time volunteering through MMO and BVU and it was another great experience. Thank you!

{It was a very positive experience, and the fact that our group was able to provide over 3400 meals in just under 4 hours really drove home the fact that every bit helps.
Kristina Moos

{Volunteering was an AWESOME experience. In addition to spending time with the dogs at the Humane Society, it was so nice to connect with strangers from our company who have now become friends. I look forward to more of these opportunities in the years to come. Thank you for putting this together.

{Every year we do a Done-in-a-Day volunteer project called Fields for the Future. This is a project where our employees volunteer their time to renovate and beautify a baseball field in the City of Cleveland. BVU does a lot of behind-the-scenes work for us to set it up so that when we go out there that day, it’s really easy for people to engage and just get into the work and have a great day.
