9/11 Remembrance Beautification Project

This year marks the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and The Mission Continues is issuing a call to serve and stand united. Houston 2nd Platoon is organizing a service project at Beauty's Community Garden for veterans and local volunteers to come together and make a difference in their community, and remember those who served and sacrificed in the wake of 9/11. This project will also support our Operation Nourish campaign. Join us as we help to sustain this amazing garden in Independence Heights! Lunch, water, Gatorade, and a TMC shirt will be provided to all volunteers. All skills and ages welcome. Mask, hand sanitizer, and gloves will be provided to all volunteers.
