*Agenda:
As part of the 4th Annual Bronx Summer Cleanup Series, We Return to The Bronx to work alongside The Sanitation Foundation. Make sure to join us for one of their fun and fulfilling five cleanups this summer in the Bronx. They'll bring everything you'll need - like tools, supplies, bags - so you don't have to worry about a thing.

We’ll be cleaning up five of the borough’s most interesting and vibrant neighborhoods - starting on Saturday, June 22, in Crotona Park East.

Each volunteer will receive a voucher for a FREE pair of Yankees tickets. Plus, as an extra bonus, volunteers who are part of the cleanup that collects the most pounds of trash receive a special invite for them and a guest to a VIP experience at Yankee Stadium on Sunday 8/11 when the Yankees take on the Texas Rangers.

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. 

How to volunteer 

Click “Attend” to fill in simple volunteer information. You will get an email confirmation and updates about this event through your choice of email and text messages. 

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.
