Earth Day at SSCAN Urban Garden

Event overview

Join us to celebrate Earth Day (a few days late!) and kick off a new partnership with the Southside Community Action Network Civic Association, or SSCAN for short. SSCAN is on a mission to revitalize the Southside and we are thrilled to be partnering with them. Currently, they are in the process of turning vacant lots into urban gardens and our Earth Day of Service will be the first of multiple projects at their 1200 Wilson Ave site. Activities for the day are still TBD, but will likely include setting fence posts, building additional garden boxes and prepping the space for the Spring growing season. Lunch will be provided

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.
