Let the Water Flow at Harlem Grown!

August 12, 2017

11:00 AM - 02:00 PM EDT

New York City Platoon

Event overview

We are going back to Harlem Grown! Harlem Grown is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire youth to lead healthy and ambitious lives through mentorship and hands-on education in urban farming, sustainability, and nutrition. Harlem Grown fulfills this mission by supporting the physical renovation of abandoned lots in Harlem, transforming them into thriving urban farms. One of the issues they are having in supporting their education and renovation missions is water and its drainage on the 134st lot. The build up of water is impeding progress and causing damage to the farm and the chicken coop. So we are going to get dirty and repair it! We will be fixing the drainage for Harlem Growns wash station and helping with a gutter for the chicken coop's rain water catchment, along with other refurbishments that they need. So come out and help the water flow freely for the chickens and the youth at Harlem Grown!

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.
