DC Platoon Earth Day Event

Get ready to roll up your sleeves with the Travis Manion Foundation’s Washington D.C. Service Platoon for a fun and hands-on community project at Dix Street Garden! On April 18, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, volunteers will help transform this neighborhood space by clearing brush, extending the fence, and creating new areas for the community to gather and enjoy.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a visible, lasting impact in your community while working alongside fellow volunteers who share your passion for service. Together, we’ll help create a welcoming space where neighbors can connect, relax, and celebrate their community.

Location:
Dix Street Garden
5314 Dix Street NE
Washington, DC

Bring your energy, enthusiasm, and love for hands-on service. Let’s make a difference and have some fun while doing it!
