Following an electrical fire that started in the lower level of their two-story home, the Heard family found themselves displaced and in sudden need of assistance. Their home, in a Sentry-managed community in Brentwood, Tennessee, now stood charred and uninhabitable. In response to this crisis, the Sentry Management team in Nashville quickly mobilized to provide support to the family in need. Through the assistance of Sentry Management’s Giving SMILES program, Community Association Manager Mike Marcovich delivered gift cards to Susan and Glen Heard to help the family purchase immediate necessities in the aftermath of their ordeal. The Heards expressed their gratitude to Mike and Sentry for the goodwill gesture, appreciating the solidarity and support extended by neighbors, friends, and Sentry Management during this challenging time. 

Mike and the rest of the Sentry Management Nashville team were grateful for the opportunity to help some of its residents during their time of need. This incident not only showcases Sentry Management’s unwavering commitment to community support but also highlights Sentry’s continued desire to ensure that their local communities are great places to live and that community members are cared for in times of need.

Company-matched employee donations fund the program, and gift cards are distributed to homeowners or families that have fallen on hard times after a tragedy and during holiday seasons.
