Service Project

Veterans' Haven Garden: Cultivating Hope & Healing

July 27, 2024

09:00 AM - 03:00 PM EDT

Miami Platoon

Event overview

🌱 Join us for a day of heartwarming community action as we transform barren patches into vibrant havens of therapeutic gardening delight! Together, we'll create six garden beds bursting with life. But our mission doesn't end there! Guided by our passion for nurturing, we'll select and plant a bounty of fast-growing vegetables and even fruit – carefully chosen to brave the whims of beach weather. But this isn't just about green thumbs and sturdy plants; it's about fostering connections and sowing seeds of compassion. By starting a therapeutic garden for the homeless veterans of Harding Village, we're not just cultivating vegetables; we're cultivating hope, healing, and a sense of belonging. Together, we'll make a tangible difference in the lives of those who have served our country, providing them with a tranquil oasis where they can find solace and purpose. So, whether you're a seasoned gardener or simply eager to lend a hand, come join us as we cultivate not just gardens, but to dig deep, grow strong, and harvest the joy that only volunteering can bring! 🌿🌻

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.
