Beautify South Tucson

June 01, 2019

08:30 AM - 12:00 PM MST

Tucson Platoon

Event overview

Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to come together and honor those who have fallen in service to our nation. We can honor their legacy by continuing to serve our nation even after we have taken off our uniforms. South Tucson is a close knit community with a lot of great people who call it home. There are dozens of Vietnam War veterans, and families who have lost sons and daughters for America. We have an opportunity to support them and join their efforts to beautify their neighborhood. Mission 1: We are going to clean up some abandoned properties. Unfortunately, there are people who continue to illegally dump their junk in South Tucson. We can fix that! Mission 2: We are going to help some neighbors with their yards. Many elderly and disabled people live in South Tucson; we can help them catch up on the heavy lifting. Mission 3: Plant wildflower seeds. A simple way to add on-going beauty to the neighborhood! Mission 4: Have a great time. We will have a BBQ, and get to know each other. Join us in continuing to serve our fellow Americans.

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.
