Hampton Roads Earth Day Project

Event overview

Join us this April for our Earth Day campaign! We will continue to work in the Wesley Community Service Center to prepare the center to be transformed into a head start. This multi-phased project includes transforming three large areas into a head start for neighborhood kids and a recreation center for teenagers. The goal is to get the space ready to be used by September, after summer break.

In this iteration of the project, we will build a butterfly garden and remove pews for the main sanctuary.

Help us turn this Center into a one-stop space for families and children in the community!

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.
