Houston Platoon

Event overview

More than 100 veterans will come together in Houston between October 13th and 15th as the newest recruits of The Mission Continues Fellowship and Service Platoon Programs. In addition to team building and training sessions, Fellows, Service Platoon Leaders, and community members will mobilize for a high-impact community service project. Due to Hurricane Harvey, our volunteers will focus helping with recovery efforts. One of our community service projects will be at Hope Farms where they have launched a virtual kitchen shower called Delivering Hope that will provide flood victims with new kitchen/pantry items and fresh produce from Hope Farms. We look forward to helping with these efforts and hope to see you out there, and to thank you for your hard work, we’ll feed you at our block party in Independence Heights from 5 –7 pm with music from the Red Cat Jazz Preservation Society. Independence Heights Community Park 603 E 35th St. Houston, TX 77022

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.
