Willingness is Joe Steger’s defining quality as a volunteer. He steps in when other team members are in tough spots. He stays late to lend a hand. He shows up to nearly every Nuvision outreach event—blood drives, Veterans Day lunches, member celebration events, and meal drop-offs. Joe, a third generation Alaskan and Nuvision team member since 2019, believes making a difference simply requires making the time.

This month has been full of celebrations and planning for future events with our community partners. We are so grateful for every opportunity to support those making a difference, from law enforcement officers to the grocery workers who meet our basic needs. Here are our community outreach highlights from February, along with a preview of what will be coming up in March.

We’ve also highlighted some of the most important questions and answers in this article.
