Building Garden Beds at Greene Acres

New York City Platoon

Event overview

On March 18th The Mission Continues Harlem and Brooklyn Platoons will be volunteering with Greene Acres Community Garden in Brooklyn. We will build all brand new garden beds and be putting a new liner in a goldfish pond. The community needs our skills and help to knock out these garden beds and provide a green space in the area. The pond is ten years old and the old liner is leaking water into the ground underneath. Let's help bring this garden back to life! Can't wait to see you there!!

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.
