Event overview

HONOR. SERVE. INSPIRE. This January, let’s come together to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by taking action in our communities! The Mission Continues invites you to our annual Martin Luther King Jr Legacy of Service events where we will honor Dr. King’s vision of equality and service through hands-on community projects. UNITY IN SERVICE Unity is not about being the same; it’s about coming together despite our differences. This January let’s unite through service to build a better future for all. By volunteering, we embrace our unique backgrounds and experiences, working side by side to create lasting change in our communities. We will be at the community garden building some additional resources such as a compost station and shade structure. All ability levels are welcome, we could use some experienced builders but will also need help in other areas down to the gardening. This isn't just about service it's about comadarie so come on out!

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.
