Earth Day Service Project - The Mission Continues

On Saturday, April 19, 2025, The Mission Continues is returning to the Wesley Community Center in Portsmouth, VA for our Earth Day-inspired service project!

We’re calling on volunteers to complete various tasks both inside the community center and to beautify the outdoor areas, including:

  • Enhancing the outdoor space by cleaning up trash and debris along the outside areas
  • Constructing several raised garden beds
  • Cleaning the windows and re-caulking the window seals
  • Relocating books and organizing them by category to create a small library, plus more!

Your support will help create a safe, calm, and enjoyable outdoor area for children and families of the local area. No special skills are required—just bring your enthusiasm and dedication to service!

📍 Location:

Wesley Community Center, 1701 Elm Avenue Portsmouth, VA

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.
