09:30 AM - 02:00 PM CDT

DFW Platoon

Event overview

Join us as we honor 9/11 with a project at Crossroads Community Services. Crossroads’ mission is to nourish Dallas County’s low-income families by providing nutritious food and supportive education. Crossroads has inherited the North Texas Food Bank’s South Dallas location and this new space offers them an additional 45,000 sq. ft. to better serve more people facing food insecurity by serving as a client-choice food pantry and a distribution hub for local food banks. We will be leading a project to make this new space their own! We need volunteers to help us paint, build picnic tables and a play space for their children area plus have fun! We will be joined by our Service Leadership Corps, a six-month community-based leadership program for US Military veterans and current members of the National Guard and Reserves. Registration opens at 9:30 AM with kick off starting at 10:00 AM and lunch at 2:00PM. We look forward to having you there to help leave an everlasting mark at CCS!

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.
