Event overview

Hello Austin Community! Come out and join us assist Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4443 in Oak Hill continue building out their community garden. The garden will serve as a place of tranquility, peace, service, and goodwill by growing, maintaining, harvesting, and beautifying the greenspace. It will be a place for members, their families, and the community to enjoy the fruits of their labor, learn new skills, and come together as a whole community. We will be weeding, mulching, spreading soil, prepping the garden for the opening ceremony in March. If you'd like to support local veterans, their families, and organizations who support them join us on February 24, 2024 from 10a to 1p. We'd love to have you there! Snacks and beverages 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.
