Event overview

Hello All, If you were with us back in April, it's good to see you back again! If you weren't with back in April, let me give you the short version - We cleared out dirt, bricks and stones to make space available to build a new greenhouse. Some of the benefits of having a garden greenhouse are as follows: - Extend growing seasons with greenhouse plants. - Offer better pest prevention. - It's portable and customizable. - Add additional growing options. - Weather protection for greenhouse plants. So join us as we green our greenthumbs on and do the thing in The Bronx. How to get there: By Car - Enter Rincon Criollo ~ La Casita de Chema or 749 Brook Ave, Bronx, NY, 10451 By Train - Take the 2 or 5 trains to either Jackson Ave or 3rd Ave/149th Street. Walking to either train stations take the same amount of time. Trains may act up on the weekends so plan accordingly. By Bus - Take the Bx15 or Bx21 bus to 3rd Ave and East 157th Street

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.
