This month’s Spotlight celebrates the spirit of giving and community across our organization. From the heartwarming PawsFirst Pet Photo Contest and successful food drives, to new campaigns supporting the FirstService Relief Fund and Hurricane Melissa victims, our teams have made a meaningful impact. As the holiday season brings both joy and challenges, we highlight ways to support those in need and encourage everyone to get involved.

For sports enthusiasts, we also share a special guide to volunteering at sporting events, offering a fun and meaningful way to give back while getting into the game.

In this edition of Spotlight, we honor the impactful work our team members are doing to #FirstServeOthers. From projects to keep kids safe and to help them excel in school and sports to beach cleanups, animal rescue support and fundraising for leukemia research, their efforts truly reflect our mission to #FirstServeOthers.
We’re excited to launch the 3rd annual PawsFirst Pet Photo Contest and introduce our newly enhanced Social Purpose website.
