St. Louis Platoon

Event overview

Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a day of meaningful community service at Clay Community Garden. Together, we will cultivate a spirit of unity and compassion as we engage in transformative tasks that not only beautify our surroundings but also nurture the very essence of communal growth. Thank you in advance if you are a first timer or you've been with us all year, as we've supported Clay Community Garden! On January 13th, volunteers will engage in a variety of tasks, including clearing away old tomato and pepper plants, cutting down spent flowers, adding cardboard and soil to new raised beds. We'll also cover ingrown rows with a protective layer of leaves. Lastly, we'll take part in a thorough cleanup, removing trash and disposing of old lumber.

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.
