Earth Day Veteran Garden Project

April 18, 2026

10:00 AM - 01:00 PM MDT

El Paso Platoon

Event overview

Celebrate Earth Month with the Travis Manion Foundation El Paso Service Platoon by supporting local veterans and helping grow something meaningful for the community.

Join us on April 18, 2026, from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM at the Magoffin Veteran’s Center (1307 Magoffin Ave., El Paso, TX) for a hands-on service project that will benefit the veterans who call the shelter home.

Volunteers will work together to build and complete raised garden beds and plant a variety of vegetables suited for the El Paso climate. Once established, this garden will help provide fresh, nutritious produce for veterans staying at the shelter.

Beyond providing food, this project will also help create a welcoming outdoor space that promotes wellness, sustainability, and community connection. Together, we’ll build a garden that supports those who have served our country while celebrating the spirit of Earth Month.

Come lend a hand, connect with fellow volunteers, and help us grow something that will make a lasting impact for local veterans.

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.
