Event overview

Join the Dallas Platoon in our Operation Grow South as we partner with The Oak Cliff Veggie Project! We will assist in building table top and circular benches, planters, an irrigation system, a fence and painting/decorations planters and flat stones for the children's area. This is an opportunity to serve with along side the Oak Cliff community to help The Oak Cliff Veggie Project educate, cultivate, and prepare the community members who live in a food desert in that area. These fruit and vegetables help people in this community and means a great deal. The Oak Cliff Veggie Project makes nutritious fruits and vegetables available to their community and we want to volunteer our time to ensure their success.

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.
