Project offers free snow removal

Project EverGreen’s SnowCare for Troops, a non-profit program entering its second year, matches volunteers with military families serving overseas to provide free snow removal services.

Project EverGreen hopes to double participation in SnowCare for Troops during the 2011-12 snow season. Nearly 1,000 volunteers have already joined clearing snow from driveways and sidewalks for military families with a spouse or family member serving in the armed forces.

People may support the SnowCare for Troops program by:

* Offering free snow removal services throughout the winter to one or two families in your community;

* Loaning snow removal equipment to volunteers or groups;

* Donating money, transportation or gas cards to offset snow removal and maintenance costs; and

* Referring friends and/or military families to sign up for the program.

SnowCare for Troops is open to anyone with a plow or other snow removal equipment who wants to lend a hand.

Project EverGreen’s SnowCare for Troops and its sister program GreenCare for Troops are serving thousands of military families through a national network of professionals and volunteers.
