Event overview

This..............

This right here...........................

THIS IS (hopefully) THE 4TH AND FINAL PREP DAY FOR THIS CEMENTING STUFF I GOT US INTO!!!!!!!

Honestly I'm not even sure how we got to this point. A one off project (at the time) turned into a multi-project process, not that I'm complaining. We have done a lot of good here and the people around the neighborhood have appreciated our efforts. It's only right we finish what we started, no?

Join us in the final installment of cementing as we return back to Rincon Criollo ~ La Casita de Chema to prep the back side of the house. Be prepared to put in work, sweat and sweat some more!

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.
