Travis Manion Foundation and Points of Light Partner to Host National Service Week in Honor of Veteran’s Day
Doylestown, PA (PRWEB) November 04, 2015 -- The Travis Manion Foundation and Points of Light are partnering to host National Service Week during the week of Veterans Day. National Service Week is a nationwide service event held bi-annually, which honors our nation’s fallen heroes by serving the local community in their honor. Last April, more than 800 volunteers participated in National Service Week in five cities throughout the country. TMF and POL are looking to feed off last spring’s enthusiasm and carry the momentum into November.
National Service Week projects range from outdoor beautification in Philadelphia to a community cleanup in San Diego to feeding the homeless in Washington, D.C. These projects activate veterans, families of the fallen and young adults to serve their local communities in honor of fallen heroes.

The Travis Manion Foundation assists our nation’s Veterans & families of the fallen by empowering them to take the next step in their personal journeys and inspiring the next generation of leaders.
