Project EverGreen celebrates SnowCare for Troops Awareness Month in January

January is Project EverGreen’s SnowCare for Troops Awareness Month, highlight its winter counterpart to its mission to support healthy, well-maintained outdoor spaces for communities and deployed military families.

SnowCare for Troops provides complimentary snow and ice removal services to families of deployed military personnel. Together with national program sponsor Boss Snowplow, Project EverGreen celebrates National SnowCare for Troops Awareness Month.

“SnowCare for Troops is a natural extension of our mission and our GreenCare for Troops program,” says Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen. “Whether it’s mowing a lawn in the summer or clearing snow in the winter, our goal is the same – helping military families maintain safe, healthy outdoor spaces so they can focus on their families while their loved ones serve.”

Now in its 16th year, SnowCare for Troops has grown far beyond clearing driveways and sidewalks. The program helps military families maintain independence, safety and normal routines during deployments. Volunteers, including professional snow and landscape contractors, local businesses and individuals, donate their time, equipment and expertise to serve those who serve our country.

Together, SnowCare for Troops and its sister program GreenCare for Troops have delivered an estimated $20 million in donated lawn, landscape, and snow removal services to thousands of military families nationwide demonstrating the power of community-driven service.

“At Boss Snowplow, we’re proud to support SnowCare for Troops and the volunteers who make this program possible,” says Katie Roell, senior marketing manager at Boss Snowplow. “By helping keep homes safe and accessible during winter, we can ease one burden for military families and show our appreciation for the sacrifices made by service members and their loved ones.”

Contractors and individuals interested in volunteering – or military families in need of services – can register through the Project EverGreen website.
