Columbus OH Platoon

Event overview

Please join The Mission Continues, Wounded Warrior Project and South Side Community Action Network to help two different community gardens. These are award winning community gardens that work to benefit a growing community and family of urban gardens on the South Side of Columbus. We have many tasks to hopefully complete for this event. These tasks can include, installing an irrigation system, building two garden boxes, light building on a garden fence, installing a hand rail, Install hand wash station, brick patio, weeding, and laying down mulch. All volunteers of all skill sets are welcome. We are looking for some volunteers with carpentry or masonry skills to help with the construction of an arbor, steps and handrails, and lay brick pavers. Lunch will be provided by the Wounded Warrior Project. Accessibility: we will be working largely on grassy areas so it may not be accessible for all. Due to Covid-19 we can only allow 10 people from each organization so sign up fast. We will also be talking extra precaution by providing rubber gloves, masks, kids masks, and hand sanitizer

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.
