Event overview

Join the ladies of Delta Phi Chi Military Sorority, Inc., the American Veterans Mission, The Mission Continues' Killeen 1st Service Platoon, and other nonprofit organizations and volunteers for our Annual Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness 5K Walk in Killeen, Texas. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder affects up to 20% of all combat veterans. These are invisible wounds that our sisters/brothers-in-Arms return home with that commonly go untreated. The members of Delta Phi Chi are on a mission and committed to building a lasting legacy of combating untreated Mental Health diseases, through research, networks, and inventions. Our nonprofit partner, American Veterans Mission (AVM) is sponsoring the event along with other local nonprofits in the community. The Mission Continues' Killeen 1st Service Platoon will provide in-kind donations (water, food, snacks) and will volunteer for the event to help our partners ensure its success. DJ Sprad will be on site to provide musical motivation to our walkers and participants. Please help our men and women who have served or are still serving in our armed forces dispel the stigma get the treatment they need by supporting this event in spreading awareness about PTSD. #CharlieMike

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.
