Nufarm continues GreenCare for Troops support

Nufarm’s National Leadership team has recently voted to continue the support for Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops program as Presenting Sponsor with another $150,000 contribution. 

During fiscal 2018, Nufarm pledged to support the organization’s efforts. The program saw a 42 percent increase in active volunteers.

“Last year’s decision to be Presenting Sponsor for the GreenCare for Troops program was driven by the vision of opportunity as well as the natural alignment between our industry and the mission of the program,” explains Sean Casey, Nufarm’s VP of Turf and Ornamental sales. “This year’s decision to continue our pledge was based on the facts.”

GreenCare for Troops volunteers provided 700 military families with lawn care and landscape services as well as the peace of mind that comes with a well-maintained property. 

Cindy Code, executive director of Project Evergreen, says “Nufarm’s support of GreenCare for Troops has elevated the nationwide awareness of the program, and gave us the ability to double our outreach team who work closely with both volunteers and military families.”

Growth in the number of military families receiving services, increased social media activity and a magnified GIE+EXPO presence are a few of the specifics that the partnership enabled last year.
