March 2023 Spotlight

This year marks our sixth year of Social Purpose. In that time we have accomplished so much to support of our people, our community and our environment. This year we are implementing some enhancements designed to make it easier than ever to find your Social Purpose and support the causes and issues that interest you most. We have also made some enhancements to our Relief Fund, most notably, with the launch of a special fund for our Canadian teammates. Read on to learn more about what’s on the horizon for you!

What’s Next for Social Purpose

As we enter our 6th year of Social Purpose – which we call our RUN phase — we are creating even more opportunities to engage in causes meaningful to our teams and galvanize them to have an even greater impact than ever before! Want to get involved?

The FirstService Relief Fund: Better than Ever

In the 5 years since we launched the FirstService Relief Fund we have awarded more than $1M in grants to team members experiencing personal financial hardships in the US and Canada. We are always looking for ways to support the needs of our team members and are pleased to announce some enhancements to the FirstService Relief Fund.

We’re pleased to introduce a new logo and tagline, along with a better than ever website experience for those wishing to learn more about the FirstService Relief Fund, whether your preferred language is English, Spanish or French Canadian.

Event Highlight: Take the Planned Green Challenge!

We all want to do our part to help our environment. What if there was a way we could help the environment AND help provide a park bench made from recycled materials to a school or park? Well there is, and Planned Companies is inviting you to join a unique program that lets people do just that!

All Hands on Deck to Help Hungry Children

For the past five years, First Onsite has been a proud supporter of Feed My Starving Children. Each year, the organization hosts a Mobile Food Pack which is an opportunity for caring people to gather together to help pack nutritious meals to be shared with needy children around the world. First Onsite sets a goal to pack a staggering 100,000 meals each year, and the company has met or exceeded its goal every year it has participated.
