Service Project

2017 MLK Day of Service with the Ethopian Community Center

January 15, 2017

10:00 AM - 04:00 PM PST

Seattle Platoon

Event overview

Now that we have completed the pathway, we as a platoon are moving on to assist our new partners, The Ethiopian Community Center. As a platoon we assisted the Wounded Warrior Program back in August with installing a new bulletin board and cleaning up around the local businesses. The ECS’s mission is to facilitate a seamless integration of all persons of Ethiopian origin with mainstream United States. Additionally, ECS aims to contribute to the social, cultural and civic life of the Puget Sound Area as well as assisting Ethiopians and Ethiopian-Americans to preserve and share their ancient and rich cultural heritage. The projects mission is to demo, paint and install a new desk, Indoors! The ECS will also be providing lunch. With the help of our Rainier Beach Partners including Rainier Beach: Beautiful Safe Place for Youth and the Rainier Beach Merchants Association, we look forward to seeing you there

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.
