Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

We will be celebrating MLK Day with staff from the Tiger Mountain Foundation, local residents, and volunteers while working on a variety of tasks necessary to keep the garden fully functional and producing a bountiful crop. There will also be a specific service project which is still TBD. There will be a DJ playing music and plenty of opportunities to dialogue, learn, and grow personally. Be prepared to get dirty weeding, watering and planting,. There are restrooms in the Senior Center, which is next to the parking lot. The staff advises anyone going to the restroom to go in pairs. There is no drinking water source on site, but water will be provided. Lunch will be provided. The Mission Continues believes in the power of every individual to make a difference. If you're passionate about giving back to the community and making a positive impact, we invite you to join us. From hands-on tasks to behind-the-scenes roles, there's something for everyone. No matter your physical capabilities, there's a place for you in our service projects. Together, let's build a more inclusive and compassionate world.

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.
