Landscaping Company Plows Veterans’ Driveways for Free

When Tom Barry’s landscaping company was first asked to plow the driveways of a few local veterans and military families, he immediately jumped on board. That was seven years ago and his company has been doing it each winter since.

“We’re just so happy to be able to be a part of it,” said Barry, founder of Michigan-based Battle Creek Landscape Service (BCLS). “It makes us feel like we’re really contributing back to those folks that sacrifice everything.”

BCLS volunteers with SnowCare for Troops, a national nonprofit charity that pairs local plowing companies with disabled veterans and military families whose relative is on active duty.

“They sign up for it [and] we put them on a schedule,” said Barry. “Then we just come automatically every time there’s a set threshold of snow, so they don’t have to make any phone calls after that. We just come all season for them.”
