Honor Veterans Day with The Mission Continues and City of Santa Ana Parks, Recreation & Community Services!

In celebration of Veterans Day, join us in honoring the brave men and women of the Armed Forces and their families by giving back to the communities they continue to serve.

What We'll Be Doing:
Building a pergola and tables/benches at the Jerome Park Community Garden to enhance the outdoor educational and recreational space.
Contributing to a project that supports community engagement and provides a welcoming environment for families.

This is more than volunteer work—it's a chance to connect with others, reflect, and make a lasting impact in our community.

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.
