Service Project

Patriotic remembrance at Mare Island

September 15, 2018

10:00 AM - 02:00 PM PDT

Bay Area Platoon

Event overview

Mare Island Naval Cemetery is in need of serious love and attention! Our plan is to clear some downed trees, debris and remove smaller trees. Clean up the grounds form storm debris and general grounds maintenance. Fence fixing and a little painting. Replacing the information sign and mailbox at the entrance. The largest project is the cataloguing of the grave stones, we will be using digital photos, written record and add to a map that can be handed over to the VA once they take control of the property. We can expect some warm weather but the cemetery is very shaded with a nice breeze from the bay. TMC will provide snacks, water and any tools needed to complete the work.

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.
