Event overview

Join the Richmond Platoon on September 14th for a Day of Service and Unity!

We invite you to join us and the Peter Paul Development Center for a meaningful day of service. We'll construct and stain a new book cabinet, waterproof stain picnic tables, and repair an arbor bench on the playground, ensuring these spaces are ready to inspire and support our community.

This isn't just volunteer work; it's a chance to connect, reflect, and honor the legacy of 9/11 by making a lasting impact whether you're a veteran, a family member, or a dedicated community member, your participation matters.

Together, we'll make Richmond stronger, better, and more connected. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of something truly special—join us in making a difference!

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.
