Pittsburgh Platoon

Event overview

South Hills Platoon is back for another year of the Teej Festival. During this event, you will be able to interact with the Bhutanese American women and dance to Nepali music. The Bhutanese Community Association of Pittsburgh (BCAP) has asked for assistance in setting up and tearing down the event. In between setting up and cleaning up we have been invited to partake in the celebration. Scope of work: Set up/Breakdown of tables, 200 chairs, and sound system. We will also stage the kitchen area and help with serving the food. Men are welcome to join and this a family friendly event. Kids are welcomed! Lunch will be provided by the community. Typical scene in a celebrations are dancing, singing, getting together with friends and telling stories, wearing red, green or yellow clothes (sari) and sharing festive foods. The festival is dedicated, in many parts of India, Bhutan and Nepal, to Parvati, a Hindu goddess of power, fertility, love and devotion; as well as of divine strength and power. Please note that Teej has become a community event or festival, and not necessarily a religious one. Donations in any form (cash, checks, money order, prepaid visa debit cards) to BCAP will be accepted but not expected. Raffle tickets will be sold and prizes can be won!

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

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.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
