Event overview

On the 23rd of November, we will be assisting with 3 garden/lot clean-ups and assisting our partner Operation Better Block with tree planting in the Homewood community. One lot clean-up will benefit a family with a young 8 year old child who is facing regular hospitalization due to severe environmental allergies caused by the overgrown back yard. **NOTE: We will be meeting at a community part at the intersection of Murtland and Fielding and depart for sites from there. We will provide yard clean-up tools, a light breakfast, coffee, lunch, and t-shirts.

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.
