Service Project

Beautify the TCRC

March 29, 2025

09:00 AM - 01:00 PM EDT

Washington, DC Platoon

Event overview

The Tanner Resource Community Center was a vibrant community hub offering free food for needy families, a clothing pantry, a safe space for the unhoused, tutoring for children, and a resource hub. Covid forced the organization to scale back their offerings to only serve as a food distribution hub, but this place is ready to once again be so much more. Please join us as we help to beautify the center and get them ready once again to maximize their offerings to the community. This project will involve painting (interior and exterior), landscaping (removing shrubs and plating flowers), some minor repairs around the facility (replacing an outdoor light, installing a wireless entry, and replacing a shed window), and some light organizational build work. Please join us as we work to get this organization back to it's pre-Covid offerings.

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.
