Service Project

National Day of Service in Rainier Beach

September 10, 2016

11:00 AM - 04:00 PM PDT

Seattle Platoon

Event overview

Rainier Beach is known as one of the most diverse communities in America. It is rich in culture and history, and is an amazing community...but it needs your help. A lack of attention has left this vibrant neighborhood run down, and in need of attention...that's where we come in. What are we looking at? We're going to be tackling a long-neglected pathway just across the street from the High School, and re-visiting a previous project for an upgrade to our prior work. We will assist with curbside cleanup, graffiti removal, painting, weeding, and mulching. While we're at it, we'll swing a few hammers, and fire up the saws. There will be projects for all, as we aim to restore this well-used path (a main route for kids heading to the library after school) to it's original beauty. Why this weekend? Because it's a National Day of Service. And with that in mind, we're asking everyone to take a moment out of their weekend to help those who need it the most. Let's show everyone the power that The Mission Continues brings to the table. Lunch? No worries....we will provide lunch. Let's Bring Back The Beach!

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.
