Q+A: How Do You Give Back to the Community?

How Do You Give Back To The Community or Those in Need?

 

Project EverGreen is the green industry’s platform for giving back to communities and families in need.Our initiatives, GreenCare for Communities andGreenCare for Troops, provide a healthy park or public green space to an under-resourced community, or lawn and landscape services to a deployed military family. We know how healthy, green spaces make people feel, and sharing that gift with those who need it most is a wonderful way for lawn and landscape professionals to grow and protect thriving green spaces in communities that don’t have the resources. The end result is healthier, happier people and communities.

The Good Health Clinic provides free health care toFlorida Keys residents who are in need, including uninsured residents, boat captains, part-timeservers, maintenance/hospitality workers and more. Once a year, they coordinate the “Luau forHealth” fundraising event for local supporters of the organization. The “Big Kahunas” are local people who raise money for the clinic. The person who raises the most money is named “The Big Kahuna.”BrightView raised money toward the cause, which totaled over $232,000 in 2021.

I believe we were placed on this planet to use the platform we have been given to positively impact the lives of others. Industry COLLECTIVE is a service project program designed by landscapers, for landscapers, to make serving communities easy.

Service projects arrive in a box and typically take less than 20 minutes to complete. We believe that the positive impact that is possible when we come together as an industry is limitless.
