Lets Get "EveryBuddy's Garden" Ready for Fall

September 28, 2019

10:00 AM - 04:00 PM EDT

Pittsburgh Platoon

Event overview

Join TMC-Pittsburgh's Hazelwood Platoon and our partners: the Hazelwood Urban Ag Team, with support from Grounded Strategies Inc. as we get “EveryBuddy’s Garden” ready for Fall!* On September 28th we will be at EveryBuddy's Garden, which is one of Hazelwood’s three Community Gardens. We will spread a mountain or two of compost onto the raised-beds; laying out new beds; using brick and stone from the site, in order to create a design based on principles of Permaculture to make an area that is both agriculturally productive, and pleasantly inviting for visitors. With enough volunteers, we will also be working on projects like: assembling a Rain Barrel and improving the garden's Tool Shed with a set of shelves made from salvaged lumber. Event will run from 10AM-4:00PM All ages and abilities welcomed. Donuts, coffee, water, and lunch will be provided, so please register to allow us to have enough food.

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.
