Fairfield Gives Back Through Acts of Kindness

If one thing’s clear about the culture here at Fairfield, it’s that Integrity, Mutual Respect, Passion, Transparency, and Trust are more than the core values our organization runs on. Their essence is in the DNA of every one of our associates. The perfect summation of the vibe here at Fairfield? Kindness! That’s why we encourage our associates to get out into their communities and commit acts of kindness!

In celebration of World Kindness Day, Random Acts of Kindness Day (hey, that’s today!) and every day in between, we love giving back. Check out these examples to get a small taste of how Fairfield associates spread kindness.

… at The Solana Center

Web Developer Arlene Agcongay pulled weeds, aided a compost pile, and learned a lot during her volunteer effort at The Solana Center. This non-profit organization addresses environmental issues and focuses on composting, zero waste, and water conservation. During this monthly event, volunteers tackle various projects to help to maintain the Center’s grounds.

… at Olympia Community Solar

Boardwalk Senior Affordable Apartments Maintenance Technician Matthew Strickland volunteered for a non-profit that completed a solar installation on a low-income apartment building where the power goes directly to the residents, lowering their bills. He flew his drone to help get footage and photos as proof of the installation and for outreach purposes.
