From Nov. 5-11, Project EverGreen will recognize National SnowCare for Troops Awareness Week to raise the profile of the SnowCare for Troops (SCFT) program and spotlight the efforts of the initiative’s volunteers, military families and wounded and disabled veterans it serves.
Project EverGreen, in partnership with Boss Snowplow, established the SCFT initiative in 2010 to provide complimentary snow and ice removal services to help military families and disabled veterans.
Now in its eighth year, SCFT has seen more than 5,000 military families and 1,500 snow removal contractor volunteers across the country register 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.”
SCFT is more than clearing driveways and sidewalks of snow and ice—it is a means to allow military families and wounded/disabled veterans to maintain their independence, and go about their daily routines taking care of family, going to work or rehabilitating service-connected injuries, said Project EverGreen.
“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, Boss Snowplow. “Supporting initiatives like SnowCare for Troops allows us to make this passion a reality.”
