Orange County Platoon

Event overview

Join the OC Platoon for an Earth Day Beach Cleanup at Bolsa Chica State Beach. We will be supporting the Surfrider Foundation which is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s ocean, waves and beaches, for all people. We will be scavenging the shoreline, beach, parking lot, etc. We are asked: - Do NOT collect seaweed, wood, rocks, stones, seashells by the seashore sold by Sally. -Let us know if you find any 'sleeping' animals for Parks and Rec. to scoop up. - Bring back your trash once your bag its full, time runs out, or you must leave. Surfrider will weigh the trash, record the weight, then sort out the trash for items to be recycled - For those that need community service hours, it is at this point that you can get a form stating you attended the cleanup. - Bring reusable water bottle, reusable gloves (gardening or mechanic), and sun protection. - Avoid bringing plastic bottles, bags of chips, and other single use plastic products. - Dress for the beach, hat, sunglasses, shorts, and flip flops… WEAR YOUR TMC BLUES IF YOU HAVE THEM! Arriving: - Parking will be free for the Surfrider Cleanup. Enter through the Bolsa Chica main entrance on PCH. Turn right and head towards Warner Ave. Check in with TMC and we will proceed as a group to check-in with Surfrider. You will see tent and flags north of Sea Legs.

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.
