Event overview

Hello Austin and surrounding areas! It’s that time of year again—time to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty for our annual 9/11 Day of Service event. This year, we’re partnering with St. Elmo Elementary School to continue our mission of nurturing educational garden spaces and bringing fresh, vibrant plant life to the front of the school just in time for the fall season.

Join us as we breathe new life into the gardens, enhancing the aesthetics and creating a welcoming environment for students and teachers alike. There’s nothing like the satisfaction of planting something new, building together, and watching it grow—especially when it’s part of a project that will benefit the next generation.

Let’s kick off the new school year with some wholesome, clean fun. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just love being part of a good cause, we need your energy and enthusiasm to make this day a success. Coffee, snacks, and a water refilling station will be provided to keep you fueled as we work together to make a difference.

Come out, connect with your community, and let’s make St. Elmo Elementary a greener, brighter place to learn and grow!

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.
