Our 2022 Summer of Service may have come to an end, but the impacts made on individuals and communities across North America will live on. While we look back on a wonderful summer filled with memories of helping others and all the good that we did, we also look forward to seek out more opportunities and continue our commitment to #FirstServeOthers.
On September 28, Hurricane Ian struck Southwest and Central Florida causing record-breaking devastation. Among Ian’s victims are members from within our FirstService family who call Florida home.
As the summer was coming to a close, Charlotte Jarrett not only secured a sale for eleven California Closets spaces at My Sister’s Place in Washington, D.C., but she secured an opportunity for our team to give back in the process.
I am a care giver for my sister who is developmentally delayed, and when I saw Caring with Cards in the events section for this Summer of Service, I knew it was perfect, especially because my sister and I could do it together!
I’m excited to share California Closets New York’s (CCNY) great work in supporting the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley, which serves families in need of shelter when their kids stay at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.
On September 28, I was provided the opportunity to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Ontario, which is a nonprofit organization that helps to build and provide safe and affordable homes to working, lower-income families in the community.
On September 29, we had 20 volunteers, 17 from FirstService Corporation and 3 from CertaPro, gather to cleanup Ketchum Park. It was a great day spent with colleagues doing something to help our environment and community.
We want you to know how much your participation meant to our FirstService family and how BIG of an impact one act of kindness from participating team members across FirstService brands made.
Our FirstService family has been sharing their #FirstServeOthers experiences on social media! You can share your stories from summer on social too, and use the hashtag #FirstServeOthers, to be featured in the #FirstServeOthers photo gallery!
Just because Summer of Service is over, doesn’t mean you have to stop serving others. Check out Volunteer Hub for plenty of opportunities to get involved year-round!
I, along with our entire family at FirstService Corporation, thank each of you for your support and participation to make our first Summer of Service a huge success!
