Military Family Service Programs

• Active-Duty Military Families

  If your household qualifies, GreenCare for Troops may be able to connect you with a volunteer who can provide donated lawn, landscape, or seasonal services – at no cost to you.

   

  Eligible Participants Include:

  • Active-duty members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and activated Reserve or National Guard members.
  • Service members who are deployed in support of military operations.
  • Service members attending military training, schools, or temporary duty assignments lasting more than 30 consecutive days.
  • Service members assigned to Permanent Change of Station (PCS) unaccompanied tours, where dependents remain at the primary residence. PCS is only covered up to a 24-month period.

  Additional Eligibility Requirements:

  • Lot size must be less than 1 acre
  • Only the primary residence of the service member may be registered.

• Disabled Veterans

  We currently assist active-duty service members nationwide. Effective February 2026, we have opened our program to disabled veterans in select states with strong volunteer capacity. These states include Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. Ongoing changes to the program may be put into effect at any time.

  If the veteran is approved for free services and a volunteer is available in their area, the veteran may receive up to one year of service. If services are needed beyond one year, the veteran must re-register annually.

  Eligibility Requirements

  • • The veteran must have a physical, military service-connected injury(s) that impacts their physical capacity, mobility, or stamina, preventing them from caring for their lawn or clearing snow from their driveway.
    • The household must not have any able-bodied person who could perform the service. An able-bodied person is generally defined as someone between the ages of 16-65 who is not disabled and is capable of mowing a lawn.
    • Eligibility is calculated based on household size and monthly income. To qualify, the household’s income must not exceed 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).

  Household Size	100% FPL	150% FPL	200% FPL	400% FPL
  1	$15,060	$22,590	$30,120	$60,240
  2	$20,440	$30,660	$40,880	$81,760
