Event overview

Please join all 5 platoons for our 9/11 National Day of Service event. Have you ever been to a park and wondered what that space looked like before development? Well wonder no more. This year for our Nation Day of Service event we are going to create a park in the east end district. In the month of June, 5th platoon started beautification of the area with planting trees along Capital blvd and painting the underpass at Forest Hill. To continue the mission we are making our way to Capital at S 72nd St. Our list of activities include but are not limited to: Tree planting Building butterfly garden planter boxes Build and install pergola Build and install sitting areas Build a walkway Planting flowers Mulching Litter pick-up And so much more! This project has been in the works for over 7 years, but the manpower has not been available until now. The Mission Continues is known to bring out the best volunteers All hands are welcome from age 0 - 120. We are determined to make a huge impact in the community and the more volunteers we have the bigger the impact.

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.
