East Capitol Urban Farm Spring Launch

April 28, 2018

09:30 AM - 02:00 PM EDT

Washington, DC Platoon

Event overview

Join us as we help the University of DC push to get East Capitol Urban Farm in the best shape we can for the third growing season. The lease on the property is up for review soon, and we want to make sure that we don't lose the city's largest scale urban farm! UDC is also hosting tours, as well as seedlings and gardening workshops at the farm on this day, so you can take away some free knowledge as a reward for your hard work. Projects are small and include building handicap accessible garden beds and general site improvement.

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.
