Champaign – November 06, 2026 -- Pavlov Media employees contributed more than 500 volunteer hours during a single company-wide Day of Service across the United States, the fiber-optic Internet and managed Wi-Fi provider said.
More than 100 team members took part, working with local nonprofits, environmental conservation efforts and food assistance programs. The event falls under Pavlov Cares, the company's community outreach and philanthropic program.
Volunteers worked with nine organizations in four states
Six of the nine beneficiaries are in Illinois: Salt & Light, Eastern Illinois Foodbank, Champaign Public Library, Champaign County Forest Preserve District, Moore's Rescue Ranch/Kitty Crib and Aikman Wildlife Adventure. The remaining three are the Atlanta Food Bank in Georgia, GRACE Marketplace in Gainesville, Florida, and the Corinth Park District in Texas.
Projects ranged from invasive plant removal to indoor play area renovation
At the Champaign County Forest Preserve District, staff assisted with invasive plant removal and botanical garden maintenance. At Aikman Wildlife Adventure in Arcola, Illinois, they carried out grounds maintenance and revitalized the indoor play area. In Corinth, Texas, volunteers helped maintain community parks and recreational spaces, while the GRACE Marketplace work supported programs for people experiencing homelessness.
CEO Cory Douglas said the company's commitment to communities "extends beyond providing Internet." He added that the turnout of more than 100 employees reflects the people who make up the organization.
