Let's Build with Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh

08:00 AM - 03:30 PM EDT

Pittsburgh Platoon

Event overview

Come join Pittsburgh's Hazelwood Platoon and our partner Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh (RTP) as we put our carpentry skills to the test. If you feel like you don't quite have carpentry skills, that's ok too, our friends at RTP will be leading the way and showing us the tricks of the trade. Just bring yourself, a positive attitude and the desire to help your neighbors in Hazelwood. **Please keep in mind, there are two registrations for this event. One for TMC, which you are currently at right now, and one for Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh, below. Please register on both links. https://sforce.co/2WUOeJn About the day: Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh staff will lead volunteers in some home repair projects. RTP will provide coffee and light refreshments in the morning, bottled water & coffee throughout the day, and lunch. Personal protective equipment and first aid kits will be on site as well.About the event: Building a Healthy Neighborhood (or BaHN) leverages government, corporate and philanthropic investments with volunteer labor to complete home repairs for qualifying low-income homeowners in a tight geographic area. This focus frequently leads to additional improvements by adjacent homeowners. Taken together, these improvements change the nature of entire blocks and have a significant positive impact on housing values, creating new homeowner equity—often for the first time in a generation. For this Building a Healthy Neighborhood event, we will be serving in the community of Hazelwood.

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.
