Service Project

Earth Month: Rooted In Service with Anacostia Park

April 26, 2025

08:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT

Washington, DC Platoon

Event overview

This Earth Day we are going back to Anacostia Park to help get the park ready for what aims to be a busy summer! We will be repainting the parking lot line to help keep it organized, filling some gravel in the road way to the rear picnic space, and repainting the tennis courts. Let's brighten up the park as the weather breaks so we can ensure they have everything they need for a successful summer! Please park in the rear of the skate pavilion (the pavilion should be between your car and the river) as we are paining the front two parking lots. Also, the skate pavilion is about a 25 min walk and 7 min bike ride from Potomac Ave Station (There is Capital Bike Share at both locations).

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.
