September 11th National Day of Service

September 01, 2018

08:30 AM - 01:00 PM CDT

Houston Platoon

Event overview

Please join us as we honor 9/11 and commemorate the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey. We are returning to L and S Small World Academy, one of three early childhood education centers in Independence Heights, that was severely impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Prior to Harvey, this center was the largest center for the community serving over 150 youth. Our focus is to help this center return to working condition so that they can continue serving the children and families of this community. Volunteers are needed to clear debris, tear down dilapidated structures, painting (interior and exterior), landscaping and more! Breakfast and registration will start at 8:30 am so that we can start promptly at 9 am. We look forward to honoring our veterans, serving the community and making a great impact in the Independence Heights community.

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.
