Event overview

TMC is heading back to Bay 84th community garden to continue the good work. The Queens Platoon is helping to build 2 planter boxes in order for the garden to grow fruits and vegetables for the neighboring community.

There are several things we need to do here.
1) Move the mound of dirt already on site to the planter beds. More topsoil may be delivered.
2) Spread the mound of mulch around the planter boxes and walkways.
3) Build a compost bin.
4) Weed whacking and clean up of the garden and the curb outside the garden.

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.
