MVB President Don Robinson is one of the three leaders who have been involved in the program since day one. MVB Director John Ebert also serves as a board member of this charity.

In a continuing effort to combat the growing opioid and substance misuse problem and the fentanyl crisis through prevention education, GameChanger in 2022 launched a new prevention education program named One Pill Can Kill. Endorsed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the program features a 35-minute film hosted by former West Virginia University women's basketball standout Meg Bulger and educates students, parents and guardians about the dangers of purchasing pills laced with deadly fentanyl over the internet or from other sources.

Produced by FGPG Productions of Los Angeles, the film will be made available to all public and private middle and high schools in West Virginia, reaching more than 200,000 students.

The GameChanger One Pill Can Kill Program complements its overall Prevention Education Program designed in conjunction with the Prevention Solutions Team at The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)

The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly programs offer free basic tax return preparation to qualified individuals. The VITA program has operated for over 50 years, offering free tax help to people who generally make $58,000 or less; persons with disabilities; and limited English-speaking taxpayers.

For the 2022 tax season, MVB recruited six Team Members to volunteer as remote tax preparers and quality reviewers for Tygart Valley United Way's VITA program in North Central West Virginia.

Through this initiative, MVB Team Members dedicated more than 100 cumulative hours toward training and volunteering. Over the three weeks of volunteering, MVB Team Members assisted with 32 tax returns for a grand total of $52,219 in refunds with an average of $1,631.84 per return. Of these 32 returns, the average adjusted gross income was $20,903.28, with a total of $9,494 returned through Earn Income Tax Credit and $8,909 through the enhanced Child Tax Credit.
