Going Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty For Military Families
Military families face many challenges when a loved one is deployed. Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops was founded to ease the burden on the families of deployed military personnel by providing complimentary lawn and landscape services during the length of deployment. The nationwide program recognizes June 20-26, 2021, as National GreenCare for Troops Awareness Week, and issues a call for volunteers to register to help meet the growing number of military families requesting services. It also hopes to raise awareness with military families, and encourages eligible personnel to register to receive services. GreenCare for Troops marks its 15th year in 2021 and has provided an estimated $10 million in donated lawn and landscape services and peace of mind to thousands of military families in need across the country. “GreenCare for Troops is more than a program that checks a box and takes care of a necessary service, it has become a transformative experience for both volunteers and recipients,” said Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen. “Not only do our volunteers provide a valued service that relieves a burden for military families, but they are also sustaining a healthy, safe lawn and yard for kids to play and families to unwind in at the end of a stressful day.” Here’s a glimpse of why GreenCare for Troops is so important to military families: “Thank you for caring for the troops and their families. There are no words to say how much of a weight is lifted off our shoulders ...

RYAN Announces “National Aerate Your Lawn Day” Campaign

It also helps lawn care professionals grow their businesses with new service offerings. RYAN manufactures turf renovation equipment for rental, golf, sports turf and lawn care professionals. The campaign features a dedicated website which supports lawn and landscape business owners as they seek to sell aeration services. The tools include talking points on the benefits of aeration, product information, and an aeration bid calculator. The bid calculator shows professionals how to bid jobs accurately and competitively. “Aeration, first and foremost, is an essential practice for optimum lawn health, but it also helps business owners grow and diversify their services towards the end of the mowing season,” said Ron Scheffler, Senior Product Manager for Doosan Bobcat, parent company of RYAN. “We’re bringing back some great resources to empower our professional customers to have confidence in their aeration efforts.” Although National Aerate Your Lawn Day is only observed for one day, the aeration season often spans from August through October depending on the area of the country.
