MLK Day of Service: Revamping the Horseshoe Pit at Karl Ross

Serve shoulder-to-shoulder with volunteers from The Mission Continues, which was recently acquired by Travis Manion Foundation. Veterans in Service projects like this one are made possible by support from Navy Federal Credit Union.

Join us this MLK Day of Service as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy through meaningful action and community impact.

The Mission Continues will lead volunteers in revamping the horseshoe pit at the American Legion Karl Ross Post 16, transforming it into a clean, safe, and welcoming recreational space for veterans and their families.

As part of this project, volunteers will clear debris, level the playing area, refresh the sand, and enhance the surrounding landscape. We will also lay new ground cover bark to improve the appearance and functionality of the outdoor space, and install permanent park benches to provide comfortable seating for veterans and visitors. In addition to the outdoor upgrades, we will refresh the back patio by installing new lighting and ceiling fans, and applying a fresh coat of paint to create a brighter, more comfortable environment for gatherings and community events.

By participating, volunteers help strengthen community spaces, support the well-being of local veterans, and embody Dr. King’s message of service, unity, and collective responsibility. This hands-on project reflects our commitment to building stronger communities through veteran-led service.

Serve with us. Honor the legacy. Make an impact.
