Killeen Platoon

Event overview

We invite you to join the Killeen Service Platoon in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy of service and to celebrate our communities' volunteers. Our goals are the following: Site 1: Park Entrance and Community Pool - power-wash the monument, re-much the area, and help organize the chairs and materials in the community pool area, and police call. Site 2: Park Gazeebo - Repair dry rot, paint the support beams, and police call. Site 3: Park Pavilion - power-wash the concrete and metal tables, and police call. Site 4: Community Garden - re-align hollowed blocks, weeding, trimming/pruning, add soil, re-mulch, and police call. We will have the music, tools, and lumber to accomplish this mission in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s day. All you have to do is show up, sweat, and have fun! As Dr. King once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" Please join us, and let's do this. Charlie Mike!

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.
