This right here...........................

THIS IS (hopefully) THE 4TH AND FINAL PREP DAY FOR THIS CEMENTING STUFF I GOT US INTO!!!!!!!

Honestly I'm not even sure how we got to this point. A one off project (at the time) turned into a multi-project process, not that I'm complaining. We have done a lot of good here and the people around the neighborhood have appreciated our efforts. It's only right we finish what we started, no?

Join us in the final installment of cementing as we return back to Rincon Criollo ~ La Casita de Chema to prep the back side of the house. Be prepared to put in work, sweat and sweat some more!

By Car - Enter Rincon Criollo ~ La Casita de Chema or 749 Brook Ave, Bronx, NY, 10451

By Train - Take the 2 or 5 trains to either Jackson Ave or 3rd Ave/149th Street. Walking to either train stations take the same amount of time. Trains may act up on the weekends so plan accordingly.

By Bus - Take the Bx15 or Bx21 bus to 3rd Ave and East 157th Street

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.
