LA 3 Beautify the Block

March 23, 2019

09:00 AM - 02:00 PM PDT

Los Angeles Platoon

Event overview

Come out Saturday morning to kick in some time to help us beautify the block. LA Third Platoon will be back in Watts helping clean up the neighborhood in more ways than one. This project will be an opportunity for the platoon to be in front of the community and as usual the we will be taking care of business by helping pick up trash, take on some touch up work and have yet another reason to put in some time on a place that more than counts. Imperial Gardens hosts a 5k on April 6th that and our work will be to help clean up the route for this event. With all the help we had @ our last service project we are excited to see some of the same faces and new ones alike. Operation Beautify the Block will be an ongoing campaign held throughout the year and in different neighborhood throughout Watts, South Central and Compton. Let's get the first one of 2019 to set the tone!

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.
