Veterans Day National Day of Service

November 10, 2018

09:00 AM - 01:00 PM PST

Seattle Platoon

Event overview

Veterans Day is a great opportunity to show the International District what we're made of, and how we, as a community, can move mountains. Come on out, and join the Seattle 2nd platoon this November 10th, 2018, for an amazing day of service in the International District. The platoon will join the Seattle University Veterans Center to participate in a Day of Service that will entail a sidewalk clean up along 12th Avenue, a neighborhood clean up in the Little Saigon Business District, and a tree planting at the Danny Woo Garden. Our rally point will be at Seattle University Student Center and teams will be formed with assigned sectors once we arrived at Little Saigon. Upon completion, we will all head back to Seattle University's Student Center for lunch and a joint celebration. The Mission Continues aims to support and reduce the crime presence in and around the Little Saigon Business District, and to improve the neighborhood and business facade along 12th avenue along with our partners at Seattle University. This is a light and fun project for all ages and abilities, so bring the whole family. Light breakfast and water - provided by Bank of America Lunch - provided by Seattle University

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.
