Event overview

Join The Mission Continues, RTX, and local community members for an Impactful Day of Service in Asheville!

We’re excited to return to Asheville, NC for our 2nd dedicated Day of Service at Johnston Elementary School (JES) in partnership with RTX! Serving alongside our friends at RTX and the amazing staff from JES, as well as local veterans and volunteers, we'll continue our mission of service to expand upon all the amazing work that was done back in July during the 1st dedicated Day of Service.

Potential Projects may Include:
> Updating, improving, and weatherizing the pollinator garden
> Improving the playground area by painting blacktop games
> Expand outdoor STEAM area to compliment current indoor lab
> Cleaning, organizing, and painting interior spaces

This Veterans Month, we’re not only giving back—we’re helping build spaces where curiosity, creativity, and community can thrive. Come ready to make a difference, connect with fellow volunteers, and leave a lasting mark on the Asheville community!

We'll have plenty of snacks and hydration to keep us going throughout the day. Lunch will also be provided at the conclusion of the service project.

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.
