Let's Plant Seeds of Hope at Greenthumb's Brook Park

New York City Platoon

Event overview

TMC NYC Returns to Brook Park after a Long Hiatus. Brook Park was an abandoned lot reclaimed by Local Community Advocates in the Late 90's. They turned this Concrete Lot into a Green Oasis, years in the Making. TMC NYC will continue to assist by getting our Greenthumb On with Planting 150 Plants 🌱 in their 10 Raised Garden Beds. Amongst other tasks, this is a Second of a Series of Support Projects as we Prepare for the Grand Reopening of this lovely Greenspace.

NYC Greenthumb has been instrumental in the Redesign during it's 2 yr renovation with Community Input. An ADA Walkway was installed along with Wheelchair Accessible Raised Garden Beds. They'll be utilized for Flowers and Vegetable Growing for the Season. Join us as we assist on this worthy cause. Charlie Mike!

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.
