Event overview

Event Description: The SAFB Urban Farm is the largest urban agriculture initiative within the city of San Antonio with a unique mission. We want to grow as much food as possible for our community while empowering clients, school kids, volunteers, and anyone else who wants to learn more about growing food at home with skills they need to do so. So what can you expect when you volunteer? Our volunteers may work in and between the garden, orchard, or farm during a shift. Tasks will vary seasonally but our volunteers most frequently aid in planting, transplanting, harvesting, weeding, and mulching. Volunteer sessions may be canceled in the event of extreme weather. Should a cancellation occur, you will be notified via email 24 hours in advance. Ensure to arrive 30 minutes early to register with the Food Bank

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.
