Tacoma Platoon

Event overview

Join the Mission Continues Tacoma 1st Platoon, as they #reportforduty alongside Stream Team in Lacey, WA for what promises to be an amazing Support Project. Along with the Platoon, Stream Team is inviting all active duty, retired military personnel, and community members to join them as they plant, mulch, and remove weeds to improve the habitat at Woodland Creek. This is an amazing opportunity for TMC members to #charliemike with not only other veterans, but also members of their community What is Stream Team you ask? Stream Team is cooperatively sponsored and funded by the storm and surface water utilities of the Cities of Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater and Thurston County. Stream Team began in 1990 as a way for local governments to involve citizens in the basin (watershed) planning process for a few local creeks. After the plans were finished, Stream Team found a niche in the South Sound for providing free quality environmental education programs and activities and hands-on action projects. You want snacks? Snacks will be provided. You want drinks? Drinks will be provided too. Need tools? No worries...they will be provided also. How about gloves? Yep...all provided The only thing that you need to bring is your blue TMC shirt and a great attitude.

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.
