Boston Platoon

Event overview

Join the Boston Platoon as we serve brunch at the New England Center and Home (NECHV) for Veterans. Each day, NECHV serves between 380-400 meals to veteran residents and veterans accessing services through their programs. We will assist NECHV kitchen staff by serving brunch during meal service. Volunteers must register online because there is a limited number of slots, and we have to provide names to NECHV in advance. Open only to volunteers ages 18+.

Street parking can be hard to find around the Center, so we recommend taking public transportation if possible. We are a 2-minute walk from the Government Center MBTA Station (Green Line and Blue Line) and an 8-minute walk from the Haymarket MBTA Station (Orange Line and Green Line). There is also bus service from both sites.
If driving, we recommend parking in the Government Center Lot or the Post Office Square Lot. The NECHV is about 5 minutes away from both.

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.
