Service Project

Celebrate Juneteenth at The Garden of Tomorrow

June 24, 2023

07:45 AM - 11:00 AM MST

Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

We will be celebrating Juneteenth with staff from the Tiger Mountain Foundation, local residents, and volunteers. Building two picnic tables will be one project. We will also assist with a variety of tasks necessary to keep the garden fully functional and producing a bountiful crop. There will be a DJ playing music and plenty of opportunities to dialogue, learn, and grow personally.

Be prepared to get dirty weeding, watering, planting, and possibly building planter boxes, among other things.

There are restrooms in the Senior Center, which is next to the parking lot. The staff advises anyone going to the restroom to go in pairs.

There is no drinking water source on site, but water will be provided.

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.
