Columbia MO Platoon

Event overview

This is a One-Stop shop for people experiencing homelessness in our community where they can receive a variety of health and human services. These services include; medical, mental health, substance abuse, legal, housing, free haircuts, eyeglasses, food, clothing and more. The event will be held at the Family Impact Center at 105 E Ash St, Columbia, MO. They are wanting to have us volunteers from 0730-1030 am or 1030-1230 pm, we will be helping to set up, checking in, directing people, serving food, and tearing down after the event ends at 1230 pm, etc. If you can't volunteer the whole time you can choose a time that works for you. You'll have the opportunity to become more familiar with resources in the community, meet new people and help to provide basic needs to those experiencing homelessness. This is one of our semi annual support events that is really a very interesting, knowledgeable and helpful time for our homeless and volunteers as well. Hope to see you there!

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.
