Atlanta Platoon

Event overview

In honor of one of our most prolific Civil Rights Icons of the Century, please join the Atlanta Service Platoons as we along with our national partners from Starbucks and the Westside Service Corps will be providing a wonderful facelift to some of the spaces within the Bellwood Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club on the WestSide of Atlanta. The birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr. We will be painting the pool area, painting and installing new cabintes and desks in the art room, painting the stairwell, building storgae shelves for the teen center, laying new mulch on the playground, building an outdoor fitness area, staining the planter beds and filling them with new soil and planting perrenials and installing an outdoor basketball court at the English Ave Campus. There is plenty of work to be done and we need many hands to get it done.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

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.
