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

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

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.
