Event overview

Remember on September 9th when we was supposed to lay down the cement for the third part of this cement series?
Remember the cement truck never coming, despite all of the preparation we did that day?
Remember it decided to rain cats and dogs on us towards the end of the project?!
Pepperidge Farms remembers!

So, if you are available, come out and help us make this garden more accessible for everyone before the holidays arrive.

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.
