Project EverGreen celebrates SnowCare for Troops Awareness Week

CLEVELAND – From Nov. 5-11, Project EverGreen recognizes National SnowCare for Troops Awareness Week to raise the profile of the program and spotlight the efforts of the initiative’s volunteers, military families and wounded or disabled veterans it serves.

For families of deployed military personnel and post-9/11 veterans with a service-connected disability, clearing driveways and sidewalks of snow and ice can be a hardship. To help military families and disabled veterans overcome those challenges, Project EverGreen, in partnership with BOSS Snowplow, established the SnowCare for Troops initiative in 2010 to provide complimentary snow and ice removal services to help these individuals.

Now in its eighth year, SnowCare for Troops has seen more than 5,000 military families and 1,500 snow removal contractor volunteers across the United States register to either receive or provide services since its inception. The program is more than clearing driveways and sidewalks for military families, as it also provides a way for them to go about their daily routines of taking care of family, going to work or rehabilitating service-connected injuries.

“We are passionate about supporting active and disabled veteran members of the Armed Forces in whatever way we can,” said Mark Klossner, director of marketing at BOSS Snowplow. “Supporting initiatives like SnowCare for Troops allows us to make this passion a reality.”
