As FirstService’s Summer of Service campaign winds down, we highlight key community initiatives from our North American teams. These include FirstService Residential’s toy drive with CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish, First Onsite’s Sheltering Hope animal aid, California Closets’ “Care Closet” for foster families, and Paul Davis’ ongoing blood donation efforts. We also celebrate FirstService Residential’s South Region HQ achieving WELL Certified™ Gold, the East Region’s “Jolt of Joy” project delivering 700 cards to seniors, and feature Leukemia Awareness Month with ways to support lifesaving research. These activities demonstrate our commitment to compassion, collaboration, and service.

This season, our teams have shown incredible heart through initiatives that reflect our mission to #FirstServeOthers. From fundraising for leukemia research, to volunteering at animal shelters and food banks, the impact has been both personal and powerful. Thanks to the generosity of our FirstService Relief Fund donors, more than 2,600 grants have been made possible. We’re deeply grateful for their support—and we welcome their feedback through a short survey to help us grow and improve. Summer may be winding down, but the spirit of service is going strong—check out what’s still to come!
