Lassen Elementary School Food Pantry Stocking and Garden Bed Maintenance

January 21, 2025

07:00 AM - 10:00 AM MST

Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

Our primary objective will be to assist with stocking the school's food pantry for community members to "shop" for a food box the following day. We will be moving and unloading boxes of produce and stocking refrigerators. Secondarily, depending on time, we will work in the raised garden bed area weeding and other tasks as needed. 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. Please note: the garden bed area is very uneven terrain but the food pantry is more even. Water and gloves will be provided. **We will meet in the front parking lot by the school's marquee for check in.

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.
