Event overview

Honoring the Past, Building a Better Future 🕊️

On this 9/11 Day of Remembrance, we come together as a community to reflect on the lives lost, honor the heroes who rose in the face of tragedy, and reaffirm our commitment to unity and service. This day is not just about looking back; it’s about moving forward with purpose, kindness, and action.

Time to roll up your sleeves again and CONTINUE to transform our community together! This exciting initiative is packed with activities for everyone—whether you're handy with a hammer, have a green thumb, or just love to lend a helping hand.

We'll be:
- Building and repairing projects that make a difference - Clearing and beautifying green spaces for everyone to enjoy - Area cleanup to create inviting outdoor areas. - Painting, landscaping, and sprucing up spaces in need of TLC - Organizing storage spaces to make them more functional.

No matter your skill level, there's a role for you! Let's get dirty and make an impact as we create a brighter, more beautiful community for all to enjoy.

Grab your friends, family, and neighbors, and join us for a day of teamwork, laughter, and tangible results. Through meaningful service projects, we’ll strengthen our community and teach the next generation the power of resilience, compassion, and hope.

Together, we can ensure that the spirit of unity and service that emerged on that fateful day continues to shine bright.

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.
