Boston Platoon

Event overview

Join The Mission Continues Boston Platoon at Catie's Closet Boston Distribution Center for donation sorting. Catie's Closet provides resources for children who are homeless or living in poverty. Catie’s Closet provides children access to clothing and basic necessities which are important in order to feel valued, build self-esteem, and allows our children to better focus on their education.

The Boston Platoon will sort and prepare clothing and basic necessity donations for distribution into Catie's in-school closets or for the SOS Urgent Response program. This includes separating donations by classification and hanging, folding, or sorting as needed. Volunteers can expect an upbeat team environment. Ability to read garment tags needed.

You are welcome to bring any donations you feel are suitable for Catie's Closet. They look for new or like-new items, school-appropriate clothing, and brands and styles our kids would be excited to wear! Catie’s Closet accepts infant, toddler, youth and adult sizes and also accepts new and full-sized toiletries.

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.
