2023 Wasserman Serve Day Project in South LA

September 16, 2023

09:00 AM - 03:00 PM PDT

Los Angeles Platoon

Event overview

Join the Los Angeles Service Platoon in support of the 2023 Wasserman Serve Day. This year we will be serving at the Ritter Elementary School in Watts.

One day each year, the Wasserman Foundation hosts Wasserman employees and volunteers during their annual Wasserman Serve Day. The event started in Los Angeles years ago when Wasserman employees participated in activities such as renovating schools and playgrounds. The Mission Continues is proud to partner with the Wasserman Foundation to support its efforts.

This year, the project coincides with our United in Service campaign. September 11, 2023, marks 22 years since the devastating terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. In the wake of 9/11, a generation of veterans answered the call to serve with The Mission Continues. In 2023, we are being called to serve our communities once again. Our mission is clear, and we need you to join us, united in service, this September.

Ritter Elementary School was built around 1935. The historic campus is in dire need of restoration to create a safe and inviting space for the kids of Watts to thrive. The project details are still being finalized, but we will paint, build, landscape, and clean at the school.

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.
