I think in this context the meaning is to show our sympathy, thankfulness, etc. etc. to the place where we live. In a nutshell, to show our love.

do good / benefit
In this context I think the phrase could be understood as "to do good" or "benefit". You can take a look at the web link provided for an example of how Benjamin Franklin used the phrase.
Example sentence:
You just have to pay a little attention to do good (benefit) the places we live in and celebrate special moments like Christmas.
