Event overview

Operation Tampa Strong is your chance to make a lasting difference in our community! In collaboration with the State of Qatar and the Bob Woodruff Foundation, we’re rallying veterans and neighbors to come together for an inspiring day of hands-on projects that will enhance our neighborhood’s safety, beauty, and spirit.

Be part of the team that’s building a new fence for safety and privacy, transforming the area with vibrant beautification, and creating a welcoming seating space for everyone to enjoy. But that’s not all! We’re also painting, constructing a new shed, installing a pergola, and giving the playground a thorough clean-up to ensure it’s safe and fun for the kids.

This is more than just a project—it’s a powerful opportunity to connect, contribute, and see firsthand the incredible things we can achieve together. Don’t miss out on this chance to give back and be a part of something truly special. We need your help to make it happen—join us for a day of community, camaraderie, and meaningful impact!

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.
