MLK Day of Service at Bellevue Edible Learning Lab

January 18, 2020

09:00 AM - 12:00 PM CST

Nashville Platoon

Event overview

Nashville 1st Service Platoon invites you to participate in The Mission Continues' national campaign to honor the legacy of service of Martin Luther King Jr. by embodying the values Dr. King championed during the civil rights movement. This year we will be returning to Bellevue Edible Learning Lab to get our hands a little dirty as we support Bell Garden's mission "to provide practical learning opportunities for residents of the community in a setting that promotes physical activity, healthy eating, environmental stewardship, and multi-cultural connections for all generations". This was a wonderful event last year and is a great opportunity to connect with other platoon members and build camaraderie as we serve together in our community! No previous garden experience necessary! We will learn together as we grow!

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.
