Event overview

Join Portland Platoon on September 7th for a Day of Service at Veteran's Village!

We're returning to Veteran's Village to transform and beautify the outdoor living spaces for this deserving community. Our mission is to remove weeds and yard debris, creating a more welcoming and serene environment for the residents. We'll be working with various equipment, ensuring tasks are suited for all ability levels.

After the work is done, we'll gather with the residents and staff to share a BBQ meal, celebrating the community we've built together. While the property has some uneven ground, there are paved paths to ensure everyone can participate comfortably.

Please note that this project is limited to volunteers aged 18 and older, and the day may end early if the heat index requires it.

Your efforts will make a tangible difference in the lives of those who have served our country. Join us for a day of service, connection, and camaraderie. Together, let's create a beautiful, nurturing space for the veterans at Veteran's Village.

Register today to participate in this transformative initiative and help us make a lasting 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.
