Tampa Platoon

Event overview

This year Reach City Church is collaborating with Metropolitan Ministries of Tampa to ensure that every family has food for the holidays and something to put on the table. Across the country, families are still struggling with paying the bills and purchasing food. Tim Marks, President of Metropolitan Ministries has a message for Tampa: "For hurting families in the Tampa Bay area who come to Metro as a last resort, that meal or box of food means life. And hope. That’s never more true than at Thanksgiving and throughout the holidays. Metropolitan Ministries is now approaching 53 years of serving hurting and hungry people with love and compassion across Tampa Bay. This Monday before Thanksgiving we will be helping set up an assembly line style distribution to repackage and distribute holiday meals to the local community. Be prepared to stand for a long duration of time. Please consider joining us in this event, your efforts and dedication are always needed and warmly welcomed.

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.
