Washington, DC Platoon

Event overview

Please join us Saturday, March 9th for a day of service with our friends at DC Urban Greens. We are going to help make tables, prep the beds for planting and prepare the crops for the incoming rain and snow season. The compost bin needs fixing and we might make some new homes for the hard working red wiggler worms. If we finish early there is plenty of general maintenance around the grounds that can get done too. The farm contributes more than 3000 lbs of food to the local community, and as the garden is located in a part of Ward 8 with little to no access to fresh foods, it's absolutely essential to the overall health of the neighborhood. Bring your water proof clothes and prepare to get dirty!

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.
