Community Garden Event

August 19, 2017

08:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT

Tampa Platoon

Event overview

Seeds of Faith is a community garden located behind Bay Life Church. They have 60 raised vegetable gardens. Half of the garden is rented out to individual growers from the community. The other half of the garden is used to raise produce for our local food pantries. Last growing season, over 2300 pounds of fresh produce was donated to local non profits. SO, HOW CAN WE HELP? Let's help prepare the garden for opening day by beautifying the property and preparing the gardens for growing season! We will be doing some re-mulching, weeding, spraying, and possibly building some additional seating and shading areas. Date: August 19, 2017 Time: 9:00am - 12:00pm Place: 1017 Kingsway Rd., Brandon, FL 33510 (Garden is located behind the Baylife Church)

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.
