Event overview

The Mission Continues Boston Platoon will be hosting a service project painting at Ironstone Farm to support their equine-assisted therapy programs. We welcome you to come help support the farm to advance the cause of providing our veterans and first responders with equine-assisted therapy programs to support healing from past trauma.

Ironstone Farm employs horses in a working farm environment, in varied programs helping children and adults with disabilities, veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, individuals with cancer, seniors with memory impairment, teens at risk, people in recovery from addiction and families in need throughout our local community and inner cities.

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty! Volunteers can expect to be performing several different indoor and/or outdoor activities that support the farm and its infrastructures.

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.
