Saturday, will remember the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We will honor his legacy by continuing the mission of his dream for peace, hope and love. We will build a butterfly garden, gazebo, tables, benches, chairs, raised flower beds, and relationships that will afford us the ability to move vastly together on one accord to give hope for our future and power in our present!

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.
