During uncertain times that accompany deployment, military families face added difficulty during the winter months, including snow and ice removal.
Helping to meet this pressing need is Project EverGreen‘s SnowCare for Troops program that provides complimentary snow and ice removal services to families of deployed military personnel.
Together with national program sponsor Boss Snowplow, Project EverGreen proudly celebrates National SnowCare for Troops Awareness Month this January 2026, recognizing the thousands of professional contractors and community volunteers who step up each winter to serve military families.
“SnowCare for Troops is a natural extension of our mission and our GreenCare for Troops program,” said Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen. “Whether it’s mowing a lawn in the summer or clearing snow in the winter, our goal is the same — helping military families maintain safe, healthy outdoor spaces so they can focus on their families while their loved ones serve.”
16 Years of Year-Round Support for Military Families
Now in its 16th year, SnowCare for Troops has grown far beyond clearing driveways and sidewalks. The program helps military families maintain independence, safety and normal routines during deployments, according to the organization. Volunteers, including professional snow and landscape contractors, local businesses and individuals, donate their time, equipment and expertise to serve those who serve our country.
Together, SnowCare for Troops and its sister program GreenCare for Troops have delivered an estimated $20 million in donated lawn, landscape and snow removal services to thousands of military families nationwide.
Delivering Peace of Mind Nationwide
“At Boss Snowplow, we’re proud to support SnowCare for Troops and the volunteers who make this program possible,” said Katie Roell, senior marketing manager at Boss Snowplow. “By helping keep homes safe and accessible during winter, we can ease one burden for military families and show our appreciation for the sacrifices made by service members and their loved ones.”
Contractors and individuals interested in volunteering — or military families in need of services — can register through the Project EverGreen website. The organization stated that by participating in SnowCare for Troops, volunteers help extend Project EverGreen’s mission of caring for people, communities and the outdoor spaces they depend on.
