Lets Get "EveryBuddy's Garden" Ready for Fall

September 28, 2019

10:00 AM - 04:00 PM EDT

Pittsburgh Platoon

Event overview

Join TMC-Pittsburgh's Hazelwood Platoon and our partners: the Hazelwood Urban Ag Team, with support from Grounded Strategies Inc. as we get “EveryBuddy’s Garden” ready for Fall!* On September 28th we will be at EveryBuddy's Garden, which is one of Hazelwood’s three Community Gardens. We will spread a mountain or two of compost onto the raised-beds; laying out new beds; using brick and stone from the site, in order to create a design based on principles of Permaculture to make an area that is both agriculturally productive, and pleasantly inviting for visitors. With enough volunteers, we will also be working on projects like: assembling a Rain Barrel and improving the garden's Tool Shed with a set of shelves made from salvaged lumber. Event will run from 10AM-4:00PM All ages and abilities welcomed. Donuts, coffee, water, and lunch will be provided, so please register to allow us to have enough food.

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.
