Event overview

Join us for a meaningful day of service at the Englewood Veterans Garden in Chicago as part of our United in Service: Honoring 9/11 Campaign. Together, we’ll roll up our sleeves to tackle remaining projects from the Mass Deployment Operation Chi Town Salute while launching new initiatives to enhance this vital community space.

Why Get Involved?

Your participation not only honors the spirit of 9/11 through service, but also creates a lasting impact on the lives of veterans and the broader community. The Englewood Veterans Garden is a dedicated space designed specifically for veterans and their families, serving 100% veterans, family members, and caregivers.

This is an opportunity to make a difference and connect with fellow community members who share your passion for service.

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.
