Event overview

It's time to Kick this into 5th gear! This will be our biggest project of the year! Thanks to our partners at Starbucks and students and staff at Thomas Edison High School, we will be taking on a BIG challenge and resurfacing old, unused tennis courts on the school campus into new, usable tennis courts and outdoor basketball courts! We will also be taking on other projects at the school to help expand recreational and educational resources to the students at Edison High School! We will be painting, building, digging, sorting, organizing, and much, much more! Something for everyone, open to all ages and abilities. Lunch will be provided. Please make sure to register to ensure we have enough food, and work to go around! This will be Anthony Fedeles last project as Platoon Leader for the #Philly1stPlt so make sure to come out and have some fun!

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.
