Summer Clean Up and ADA Planters at Furtick Farms

Philadelphia Platoon

Event overview

We are going back to our community partner, Furtick Farms, to assist with their farm and complete a clean up of the park across the street. Furtick Farms offers events and classes for adults and children to learn to use their "green thumb". Furtick Farms is run by Green City Teachers, an organization of Philadelphia school teachers that want to teach the youth to obtain sustainable food resources. We are proud to get our hands dirty, clean up, build some planters, and continue our relationship with Furtick Farms.

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.
