Event overview

Part III for Spring Clean up at Smallville Farms. Come out and help the community build a few raised flower beds and stands for water totes. We will be celebrating Juneteenth with Smallville Farms, local residents, and volunteers. We will be building three benches, and three raised flower beds. We will also assist with a variety of tasks necessary to keep the gardens fully functional. There will be music, and plenty of opportunities to dialogue, learn, and grow personally. Be prepared to get dirty weeding, watering, planting, and possibly building small planter boxes, among other things.

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.
