When the husband of a friend from our local MOMS Club group was deployed she had two little ones at home and a third on the way. She didn't have family that lived locally but our group does what we can to support each other. We carpooled to school and helped with what we could.
One thing we struggled providing was help with yard care. She a two year old in the house and was far along in a pregnancy so trying to spend the afternoon on a riding mower was pretty much impossible. I called so many different organizations trying to locate help and I learned of a project today which would have been a blessing to my friend at the time and may be something she'll need look at in the future!
GreenCare for Troops is a nationwide outreach program coordinated by Project EverGreen. GreenCare for Troops connects local lawn and landscape firms with men and women serving our country in the armed forces away from home. Stuart Scott, with Cevet Tree Service here in Columbia, promoted the project on our local talk radio station, KFRU, last week.
GreenCare has helped over 1,400 volunteers provide free lawn and landscape services for over 6,500 military families nationwide. The cost to manage the GreenCare for Troops Program is underwritten by Cub Cadet Commercial.
Here in Columbia, you can contact Stuart Scott with Cevet Tree Service at 573-882-2466. You can find additional information regarding the program and additional volunteers on the GreenCare website at www.projectevergreen.com
