We will be doing some light construction and rehabilitation at Guerrilla Garden in the Lower 9th Ward. Guerrilla Garden is a project of The Backyard Gardeners Network.
http://backyardgardenersnetwork.org/
We will be building, painting, weeding and other light tasks.
A little about Guerrilla Garden:
The Backyard Gardeners Network is a Lower 9th Ward based nonprofit organization whose mission is to sustain and strengthen the historically self-sufficient and deeply rooted community of the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans, LA using our own food growing traditions as a platform to build community, revitalize the neighborhood and preserve our cultural heritage. We currently manage two community gardens in the Lower 9th Ward, the Laurentine Ernst Community Garden and the Guerrilla Garden. BGN’s latest project, Lower 9 Growing Strong, enlivens the Guerrilla Garden and engages the Lower 9 community with free community workshops, events and activities for all ages that promote health, close-knit community and self-reliance.
Food and drinks will be provided.
No experience is necessary.
Children are welcome to attend.

Mission Statement
We are on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities: empowering veterans to continue their service, while empowering communities with the talent, skills and preparedness of veterans to generate visible impact.
Description
The Mission Continues is a national, nonpartisan nonprofit that empowers veterans to continue their service, and empowers communities with veteran talent, skills and preparedness to generate visible impact.
Veterans possess the drive and desire to serve others, but without access to the tools needed, their potential to make meaningful impact at the local level remains untapped. On the other end of the spectrum growing numbers of communities in this country are under-resourced and being left behind.
At The Mission Continues, we’re on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities.
Our programs in cities across the country deploy veteran volunteers alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, increase access to parks and green spaces, foster neighborhood identity, and more.
Our vision is for all veterans with a desire to continue their service to be part of a movement to transform communities.
