Event overview

Our partners at the Normandy Schools Collaborative and Beyond Housing have put out a call for volunteers to assist with their annual Beyond the Backpack back to school event. Please join us in answering the call and supporting the youth of Normandy. This event provides supplies, books, family resources and more to assure that students in the district have everything they need to succeed. Volunteers will cover a variety of tasks including supervising games, handing out supplies, and other needs. We will be there in a support role, and work with the volunteer team from Beyond Housing.'

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
