Event overview

Join your comrades with 1st and 2nd Platoon Phoenix for a fun day of service in honor of MLK Day of Service! "Come in, grow out" in the GROWHOUSE - Roosevelt Grow Collective Garden is a volunteer driven community garden and creative space located in the Roosevelt Row arts district. We are seeking volunteers to help with garden projects such as preparing garden beds, planting, weeding, building garden structures, irrigation and watering, and various art projects and other garden beautification projects. Living on what was formerly a blighted, vacant property downtown, the now thriving garden sells veggies every week at the Community Exchange Table at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market and to nearby cafes. It is now part of Roosevelt Row CDC's A.R.T.S. (Adaptive Reuse of Temporary Space) Program to activate vacant lots downtown. The minimum age is 8 with a parent or guardian.

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.
