I believe it’s important because it will show residents that we
are not just a business but that we care about them and the
communities they – and we – live in.
It shows commitment and supports the vision for what FirstKey
Homes stands for. It shows our residents that we provide more
than just a service and that we are committed to treating them
as family.
– Deidre Hunter, Treasury Cash Associate
We have residents who trust and depend on us to provide a
certain standard of quality living to them. So having a good
reputation and leadership in our communities shows our
residents that we not only provide a service but that we also
care about the families we serve.

It’s very beneficial and uplifting because it allows me to build
relationships and network. I’ve been able to build
self-confidence and lift up others’ spirit in the process, which
makes me feel good.

Service to me is serving those who are less fortunate, not just
those you can profit from. As an organization, our community
extends beyond our residents, employees and business
partners; it extends to those who live in our communities and
the communities of our employees. Our sense of service and
community should be felt throughout every state we
operate in.
In this day and time we live in, with so many unfortunate
events, anytime I can give back and make a positive impact on
someone’s life…is a life worth living. It’s important to give back
because we need the balance; we can’t let the negative
outweigh the positive in our communities.

It makes me feel so good giving back and seeing someone smile
even when they are going through hard times.

I grew up poor. Went without food, shoes and clean clothes
from time to time, and I am very fortunate that others took the
time to help me. These people are like heroes to me, and I want
to pay it forward. I have a son now and have been bringing him
to Good Day, Good Deed events since he was old enough to
pass out bottles of water to the homeless.
Learn to appreciate the little things in life. Don’t take your
blessings for granted, be a good soul and a contributing
member of our community. Make an impact every hour, every
day, everywhere you go. Giving is receiving.
