Operation Mittens for Detroit

January 20, 2024

11:00 AM - 01:00 PM EST

Detroit Platoon

Event overview

Mittens for Detroit is an organization committed to providing warm gloves and mittens for residents of Detroit. As they enter their 14th season, they have distributed over a half million mittens to adults and youth!
Volunteers will be helping to sort, track, count and box new mittens and gloves. Additionally, we will be helping with a community pick-up and will be taking boxes outside for distribution through other organizations.

Snacks will be provided. You are welcome, but not required to bring mittens or gloves with you. They do need to be new gloves and they have the most difficulty collecting men's gloves.

Each person wanting to attend needs to register ahead and reach out to Tina Moncrief (313)729-1887 if you are no longer able to attend as we have a limited number of people we can take. This is an adult-only event as we are limited to 10 participants. Thanks!

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.
