Event overview

On Saturday, September 15th, join veterans and community volunteers as we report for duty in tribute to the 17th anniversary of 9/11/01. For this year's National Day of Service, our Massachusetts service platoons will partner with Mill City Grows to support with urban farming efforts at the Big Farm in Lowell. Volunteers are needed to help with preparing the farm for ongoing harvesting, planting orchard trees and pollinator flowers, landscaping, weeding, and more. This is a family-friendly event, and we will have music, snacks, and an afternoon lunch for all participants. Come out and make a difference with us in Lowell!

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.
