Event overview

This will be the 4th Annual volunteer event at Fort Snelling National Cemetary asisting in getting the grounds back to a manageable place for the grounds crew. We will be meeting just inside of Gate 3 on the north side. there is a small maintenance building there with a small parking lot on the north side of it. Wew will be running a first shift from 8 - 1230 with lunch around 1130. Last year the group did an amazing job and finished a little earlier but year to year that has been different due to weather and such the days leading up to saturday. Please come one come all - it's a fun event and definitely appreciated by the crew at the cemetery.

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.
