THIS IS A NEEDS BASED PROGRAM FOR ACTIVE-DUTY DEPLOYED SERVICE MEMBERS. This includes all military branches as well as Guard and Reserve Forces. Only one residence is permitted and the military member must reside at this location. Lot size must be less than 1 acre. Deployment orders or letter from command verifying deployment are required for registration. Do not register more than four weeks in advance of your deployment.
Military families face many challenges when their loved one is deployed. Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops connects military families across the nation to complimentary lawn and landscape services. Meanwhile, our sister program, SnowCare for Troops, provides basic snow removal.
GreenCare for Troops is endorsed by the National Association of Landscape Professionals.
Why Green Spaces Are Important for Military Families
Parks, lawns, landscapes and maintained green spaces help to mitigate temperature increase in communities and significantly reduce energy use and cooling costs. Project EverGreen’s initiatives – GreenCare for Troops and GreenCare for Communities – have made a significant impact.
Through its nationwide base of professional volunteers, Project EverGreen has connected people, plants and their communities to maximize the health of grass, plants and trees, which in turn sequesters carbon and cleans the air. Both initiatives support healthy green spaces in neighborhoods and cities, enabling maintained green spaces to function as the lungs of the city and offsetting the negative effects of a warming environment.
A single group or individual cannot transform lawns, landscapes and parks but Project EverGreen’s coalition of businesses and individuals helps maintain green spaces so they can thrive.

What Do Our Volunteers Have to Say About the Program?
“You have a volunteer for life! Today was my first time mowing a lawn through the GreenCare for Troops program, and it felt so rewarding. After completing the job and leaving their property clean, it felt like therapy for me. Seeing how happy she was made my day. The satisfaction of seeing her smile was more than enough. Thank you for the opportunity and looking forward to what’s ahead.”
