Since its 2006 inception, Cub Cadet has been GCFT’s financial underwriter, helping to serve nearly 10,000 military families in just a few short years.  <span id="more-1006"></span></p>
<p>The mission began with a special job to clean up a soldier’s property, bringing in dozens of landscaping volunteers and Cub Cadet products that could get a big job done. The Dirty Jobs production crew spent a day filming volunteers from Cub Cadet, landscaping company Brickman Group, and Mike Rowe cleaning up the property.  Scenes from the day will run within Dirty Jobs this Spring, which airs on Tuesday nights, and longer form segments will run online at <a href="http://cubcadet.com/greencare" target="_blank">cubcadet.com/greencare</a>. Fans of Mike Rowe can also get his perspective at <a href="http://mikeroweWORKS.com/greencare">mikeroweWORKS.com/greencare</a>, where he writes about the experience and posts his own pictures and video.</p>
<p>Ways to get involved include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adopt one or two families by maintaining their lawns throughout the summer</li>
<li>Loan your premium quality Cub Cadet equipment to volunteers</li>
<li>Repair equipment for families that want to care for their own property, but don’t have a working mower</li>
</ul>
