Event overview

Join the Houston Platoon on September 21st for a day of service and unity at Mykawa Farms as we honor the lives lost and the sacrifices made on that day. This project is about more than giving back, it’s a chance to come together as a community.

What We’ll Do: Clear five feet of brush Move a large amount of mulch Replace shade sails Repair roof panels on a gazebo damaged by the hurricane Construct a frame for a handwashing station Wood chipping Install a flagpole and more!

This is just phase one of our project leading up to Veterans Day on November 16th.

Why Participate? This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, reflect on the significance of 9/11, and make a lasting impact in our community. Whether you’re a veteran, a family member, or a dedicated community member, your involvement matters.

Together, we can honor the past and build a stronger, more connected Houston.

Don’t miss this chance to be part of something truly special!

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.
