OPERATION BEAUTIFY YOUR BLOCK (AT HOME EARTH DAY IN APRIL)

April 18, 2020

09:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT

Orange County Platoon

Event overview

In the time honored tradition of the USMC Airwing we will be doing a FOD "Foreign object debris" walk to honor Earth Day 2020 on April 18th by beautifying your own block. This can be done by simply going for a walk and making sure your own street is free of all things that don't grow. Pick up trash in your neighborhood, or your local bike path or park, or simply go outside to maintain your yard, do your part to show your community and earth you care. April is a great time to spring into action and find ways to stay active in our service to our surroundings. Take pictures, share them on social media and have fun by wearing your TMC Platoon T-Shirt & tag us om instagram by tagging @TheMissionContinues @Bobbieblanco #earthday2020 #oc1stplatoon , post to our Facebook page or email me so we can compile all the great work done. Don't let this time of uncertainty make you feel like you still can't serve your community!! But be sure to maintain social distancing guidelines.

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.
