LA Works 9/11 Support Project

September 10, 2018

12:00 PM - 05:00 PM PDT

Los Angeles Platoon

Event overview

This important event hosted by LA Works is one of six signature 9/11 Day-supported projects being held in observance of this year’s anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Other event locations include NYC, Phoenix, and San Francisco. In the Los Angeles area, LA Works expects to engage over 1,000 volunteers from area companies, organizations, and other groups to pack more than 300,000 meals for distribution to children, families, seniors, and military veterans in the Los Angeles area at risk of hunger. 9/11 Day is now the nation’s largest annual day of charitable engagement, officially recognized under federal law. Each 9/11, nearly 30 million Americans volunteer, donate to charities, and perform other good deeds to promote national unity and empathy, in honor of the victims of 9/11 and those who rose in service in response to the attacks. You will be helping us set up all of the packaging lines, equipment, signage, staging ingredients, and all that is needed to prepare the space for the next day’s activity. You will need to also register at the L.A. Works website: https://www.laworks.com/opportunity/a0C1N00000Yrv10

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.
