Dreams Coming True: In Honor of MLK

January 19, 2019

09:00 AM - 03:00 PM PST

Orange County Platoon

Event overview

With the New Year of 2019, Orange County's 1st Service Platoon will be bringing life to Grandma's House of Hope Attic donation center! Honoring the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., having a dream is the first step for change towards a better future. Grandma's House of Hope is a contributing Nonprofit to the O.C. communities throughout the County. Their mission: Empowering the invisible populations of Orange County. We say “Yes!” when everyone else says “No.” Their vision: When our good works are done, we envision a thriving, supportive community full of caring and productive individuals where everyone has a safe place to call home. They have reached out to us, The Mission Continues, for a helping hand to reconsolidating and reorganizing the surplus of donations/inventory. We will be constructing shelving units and supply storages. We will be painting and rearranging offices. There will be MANY sorting/organizing opportunities. Let's kick off this new year together with like minded selfless service patrons and bring their Dreams to life. Remember, The Mission Continues empowers veterans who are adjusting to life at home to find purpose through community impact. We deploy veterans on new missions in their communities, so that their actions will inspire future generations to serve. Let's put these words to life together with Grandma's House of Hope and our local communities.

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.
