Baldwin Library Move

February 16, 2019

09:00 AM - 04:00 PM EST

Pittsburgh Platoon

Event overview

The Baldwin Library provides a safe, comfortable, and inviting gathering place that connects the community, including large numbers of immigrant and refugee residents that reside in the Baldwin area. This February, in order to expand their services and be more accessible to the refugee community, they will be moving to a new location adjacent from Leland Park, a largely populated housing complex that is home to a diverse community of refugees. They have asked South Hills Platoon to help them with this important move. We will join with other residents and volunteers to load packed boxes into box trucks and relocate them to the new facility. We will also be raising Old Glory at the new site! Join us in supporting this important resource to the community. This event will be the first official partnership with South Hills Platoon and the Baldwin Library, but we plan on continued, strategic partnership throughout 2019 and beyond; helping to beautify the new library building! The Baldwin Library will be graciously providing coffee and lunch for volunteers!

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.
