Event overview

Join the Queens Platoon as we go back to Trees of Life Organic Garden to pick up where we left off. Last time, we partnered with GreenThumb and NYC Parks to clean up trash and cleared out a pathway to help the stewards help better tend to the garden. Here is a list of tasks for May 8: 1. Mixing compost into raised beds 2. Tilling planting areas (in raised beds and some perimeter areas) 3. Continued clearing of walkways of grass and weeds 4. Repairing of any raised beds that can be easily screwed back together 5. Bush and tree pruning 6. Clean up and trash removal from all activities If anyone has any questions about anything about the above or the event in general, you know what to do.

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.
