Heidi's House Memorial Build

October 26, 2019

09:00 AM - 02:00 PM PDT

San Diego Platoon

Event overview

In memoriam of retired Navy Chief Hospital Corpsman (HMC), Heidi Sharon Amato, who recently passed after a 2nd battle with cancer back in June 2019. The “Heidi’s House” Memorial Project is Phase 1 of a pilot program by W.A.G. Healing to explore and strengthen the Human & Animal bond toward healing. The first “tiny cabin” will temporarily house Mack & Stella (Heidi’s surviving furry animals) and provide space for both animals and visiting Volunteer Caretakers to heal and connect. Join us in helping this amazing organization complete their first build. We will be painting, re-purposing some fencing, and moving mulch. This event is not recommended for minors under 13 years old. ***

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.
