Project Evergreen's Ki Matsko rejoins the podcast to discuss SnowCare for Troops volunteer needs for Winter 2022-23. She is joined by special guest Brad Davis who offers a first-hand account of being involved with the program as both a soldier and a snow pro. For families of deployed military personnel, clearing driveways and sidewalks can be a real challenge. To meet that challenge, BOSS Snowplow and Project EverGreen established the SnowCare for Troops program to provide complimentary snow and ice removal services to these deserving individuals. Now in its eighth year, SnowCare for Troops has partnered with more than 1,500 snow removal volunteers to offer more than 5,000 military families  with complimentary snow and ice removal services. SnowCare for Troops is more than clearing driveways and sidewalks of snow and ice- it is a means to ease the burden of deployments on military families. Interested military families and veterans can also register for participation in the SnowCare for Troops program by calling Project EverGreen at 888-611-2955 or registering online at projectevergreen.org/greencare-and-snowcare-for-troops/.
