New York City Platoon

Event overview

The Queens Platoon is getting back into the swing of things, despite the pandemic we are currently in right now. Join us as we partner with Queens Liberation Project to Redistribute Food across the Astoria and surrounding areas for families that need help while practicing social distancing . There will be food, music and .......possibly a twerk contest (don't quote me on that ). Some Info on Queens Liberation Project - Queens Liberation Project is an action-driven organization focused on the advancement of the Black community. Our primary goal is to achieve full liberation of marginalized communities by uplifting, protecting, and advocating for our civil rights. Together, we fight to dismantle the institutionalized oppression upheld by systems of power with the demand for a more equitable tomorrow.

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.
