Event overview

***UPDATE*** New Project Date: Jan 26, 2019 **************** Join us as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy with a day of service on the Southside of Columbus with lunch provided from Chic-Fil-A! The platoon has partnered with WWP and will be continuing their fight against food insecurity with service projects at Holy Rosary St. John Food Pantry, Community Kitchen and Luther Social Services Champion Food Pantry. The Challenge: Making the food pantries warm and welcoming locations for local residents and efficient spaces for the staff. Your Task: Repainting walls in both food pantries, deep cleaning the floors, fixing holes in the walls and deep cleaning the kitchen!! Your Motivation:"Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

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.
