Nufarm Announces Continues Support for Greencare for Troops

Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops program has announced that Nufarm’s National Leadership team recently voted to continue its support for the program.

The organization said that Nufarm will again be a Presenting Sponsor with another $150,000 contribution.

Greencare for Troops provides basic lawn care and landscape services to military families with a deployed family member.

During fiscal 2018, Nufarm pledged to support the organization’s efforts becoming the first significant sponsor of the nationwide program. A 42 percent increase in active volunteers is one of the impressive statistics proving the return on Nufarm’s contribution and securing the continued support.

“Last year’s decision to be Presenting Sponsor for the GreenCare for Troops program was driven by the vision of opportunity as well as the natural alignment between our industry and the mission of the program,” explains Sean Casey, Nufarm’s vice president of turf and ornamental sales. “This year’s decision to continue our pledge was based on the facts.”

The numbers reveal 365 new volunteers registered over the last 12 months bolstering a base of nearly 1,500 active volunteers participating in the program. GreenCare for Troops volunteers provided 700 military families with lawn care and landscape services  as well as the peace of mind that comes with a well-maintained property.

Both Project Evergreen and Nufarm leaders are pleased with these results but are eager to multiply these numbers even more during the upcoming months.

Cindy Code, executive director of Project Evergreen, says “Nufarm’s support of GreenCare for Troops has elevated the nationwide awareness of the program, and gave us the ability to double our outreach team who work closely with both volunteers and military families.”
