Onvo's Community Programs and Volunteer Services

The Onvo team cares about every guest who walks through our doors. At Onvo, our team works tirelessly to support and strengthen our communities, and in times of decline and prosperity, Onvo extends a hand and heart.

Educational Grants

Every year Onvo and ExxonMobil partner through the ExxonMobil Educational Alliance Grant Program designed to further our students’ education and stimulate their growth in the Math and Science departments in their schools. Since 2007, Onvo has been donating thousands of dollars to our local schools in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Gerald Danniel, Chief Operating Officer at Onvo, “Onvo — in partnership with ExxonMobil — has a long history of supporting educational programs. We believe it is fundamentally important to encourage the next generation to pursue studies and careers in fields involving math and science.”

Onvo is more than just our mascot. Onvo represents our dedication to creating a positive impact in our communities. We do this not just by offering quality products and great service, but also by giving back to our communities.

Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraising

Every October, Onvo comes together as an organization to raise funds in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month recognized every October across the nation.

All of Onvo's businesses, from hotels to restaurants to travel plazas, come together each year to raise funds at the site-level through ribbon selling and other activities, while Onvo's corporate team supports by hosting an annual auction with the proceeds going directly to a local charity that supports breast cancer awareness and those who are currently battling breast cancer. In 2023, Onvo raised $50,000 to be donated to the PA Breast Cancer Coalition, and overall Onvo has donated a total of over $100,000 to the cause.
