Event overview

Please come out and support us as we help Cradle to Crayons with sorting at their distribution center. Cradles to Crayons has been a provider of clothes for economically challenged youth and their families.

From October to December marks Cradles to Crayons season of giving. We are asking our volunteers to collect donations of children clothes in conjunction with our shift. Please bring whatever you have collected to our shift. Here is the “Most Needed Items” page .
I will be collecting clothes for the youth from October 12th until the 24th, 2025. For donations, please give me a call at (215) 571-5994 or email at trjones@missioncontinues.org and I will pick up your donations or give you the address to drop them off.

This emphasis allows Cradles to Crayons to serve kids all year long!

Please note that you also need to register directly with Cradles to Crayons to secure your spot. This registration link expires on 10/23. Event has limited capacity, so please register early if you can attend!

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.
