Welcome to the GreenCare for Troops Program
The GreenCare for Troops initiative provides complimentary lawn care and landscape services to deserving military families. Thriving lawns, trees and plants go beyond the aesthetics; they provide military families with a place to relax and reconnect with one another, as well as contribute to a greener, healthier, cooler Earth.
As the program celebrates its 18th year, Project EverGreen proudly recognizes
our volunteers and military heroes.
To help you promote your participation in the program and raise awareness with military families and recruit more volunteers, we have created this Promotional Tool Kit.
We encourage you to share information about your involvement with GreenCare for Troops with customers, local media and civic groups in your community.
Project EverGreen would also like to recognize our Title Partner Nufarm, and Platinum Partners The Toro Company , SiteOne Landscape Supply AMGUARD Environmental Technologies and Heritage Landscape Supply Group and Silver Partner Ecologel Solutions for their support.
GreenCare for Troops is endorsed by the National Association of Landscape Professionals.
Thank you again for your participation and support of this valuable initiative.

Why Are Green Spaces Important to 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.

GreenCare for Troops
A managed lawn and yard provides vital space for military personnel to recover and re-connect with their families. Delivering the services needed to create the green spaces that provide military families with peace of mind and freedom to heal is what Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops is all about.
GreenCare for Troops provides complimentary basic lawn care and landscape services to deserving military families. From back yards to run in to green gardens to reflect in, thriving lawns, trees and plants go beyond the aesthetics; they provide individuals with the ability to actively participate in creating a greener, healthier, cooler Earth.
To help our volunteers promote their participation in the program we have created a Promotional Tool Kit volunteers can use to promote their participation and mission of the initiative.
We encourage you to share information about your involvement with GreenCare for Troops with your customers, local media and civic groups you belong to in your community.
Project EverGreen would also like to recognize our Title Partner Nufarm, and Platinum Partners The Toro Company , SiteOne Landscape Supply AMGUARD Environmental Technologies and Heritage Landscape Supply Group and Silver Partner Ecologel Solutions for their support.

SnowCare for Troops
Since its inception the SnowCare for Troops program has seen more than 5,000 military families and 1,500 snow removal contractor volunteers across the country registered to either receive or provide services.
“SnowCare for Troops provides military families with peace of mind and lifts a significant burden from their plate,” says Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen. “We’re very grateful for the commitment of our dedicated volunteers and the continued support from BOSS Snowplow. The leadership they have demonstrated in support of military families goes above and beyond the call of duty.”
SnowCare for Troops is more than clearing driveways and sidewalks of snow and ice it is a means to allow military families to maintain their independence and go about their daily routines taking care of family and going to work.
“We are passionate about supporting active members of the Armed Forces in whatever way we can,” said Mark Klossner, director of marketing, BOSS Snowplow. “Supporting initiatives like SnowCare for Troops allows us to make this passion a reality.”
