Greencare for Troops

RSG Landscaping & Lawn Care, Inc. is participating in “GreenCare for Troops in the Central Virginia and Roanoke Valley areas. “GreenCare for Troops” is a nationwide outreach program initiated by Project EverGreen that connects participating local lawn and landscape firms with families of the men and women away from home serving our country in the armed forces.

In announcing the new program, Duane Shumaker, Vice President, said, “Lawn and landscape maintenance becomes a definite hardship when a family’s major breadwinner is on active duty away from home. The “GreenCare for Troops” program seeks to ease this stress by helping affected families with the important task of caring for their yard and landscape.”

Families interested in applying for the “GreenCare for Troops” program should contact RSG Landscaping & Lawn Care, Inc. at [(434) 993-2753. Participation is limited. To learn more and to complete an online application, they may also access the Project EverGreen website at www.projectevergreen.com or call toll-free (877) 758-4835.

Below is a letter from one of the Project EverGreen recipients we are currently working with:

I want to thank you and your professional staff for taking care of my lawn while my husband is deployed. This program you are participating in is something you will be blessed for many years to come. I wish more companies would get involved in supporting our troops. They are the reason we have freedom.

I can not say enough nice things about your staff. Tony Hicks has always been very helpful in answering my questions. He always comes when he says he is going to be here and he’s on time. The crew is very friendly and they take extra time to weed my flower beds and make sure everything is just right. I can not say how much I appreciate your efforts and what you are doing. I’m not sure if you have other families you do this for, but I can speak for our community that you should be commended for your efforts in supporting deployed soldiers. My husband thanks you and says you had taken a burden of worry off his mind by doing this. He worries how I will get all the things done I need to get done with him away.

I tell almost everyone I come in contact with about your company and your service. I pray that God blesses you for all that you do. Remain faithful in Jesus and he’ll bless you beyond your wildest dreams.

Please share this letter with all your staff, especially Tony Hicks and the guys that come out to take care of my yard. I want them to know how much I appreciate them. Thank you so much and have a blessed day!
