🎉 Calling All Superheroes! Join the Back-to-School Brigade® 🎒✨ Hey there, Amazing Volunteers! Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into a day filled with fun, camaraderie, and the spirit of giving! We're gearing up for an exhilarating event that you won't want to miss - the **Back-to-School Brigade**, an incredible nationwide campaign by Operation Homefront. 🌟 What's Happening? We're on a mission to fill a U-Haul with school supplies, and we need your superhero powers to make this happen! These supplies are more than just pens and notebooks; they're keys to success for the children of our brave service members. 📍 Where and When? Join us at our local storage unit where the magic begins. We'll be forming a human chain of kindness, passing boxes filled with educational treasures that will light up the faces of kids as they prepare for the new school year. 🤝 Why Should You Be There? - **Make a Direct Impact:** Your efforts will help ease the financial burdens on military families and ensure their kids are set for success. - **Connect:** Meet fellow volunteers who share your passion for making a difference. - **Have Fun:** Enjoy snacks, talk, and the satisfaction of doing good! 🎖️ Be a Part of Something Bigger Operation Homefront is proud to support our military families, and by joining us, you’re not just volunteering; you’re thanking them for their sacrifices. Let’s send these kids back to school with every tool they need to succeed, packed with love and gratitude by you! 👉 **RSVP Now!** Spots are filling up fast, and trust us, you’ll want to be on the frontline for this rewarding adventure. Let’s make it a day to remember - for us, for the families, and most importantly, for the kids. Can't wait to see you there, where your heart and your help can make a world of difference! 💖 **Together, we're not just filling a U-Haul; we’re fueling futures!!!

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.
