Event overview

Partnering with the organization Stay in the Fight for this event Come join us in packing holiday care packages for our MN deployed Soldiers that are currently deployed. Our goal is to fill over 700 boxes! About this Event Who: ALL are welcome to join and support! We already have 35 volunteers and anticipate many many more. What: Packing 425 (goal is to do 850, however we are doing two separate locations on the same day and time) care packages to send to deployed soldiers from Minnesota (700 Army national Guard soldiers and 150 Marines) who will be gone for one year away from their friends and families. When: November 11th 2019 from 5 PM to 830 PM Where: Utepils Brewery 225 Thomas Ave N #700, Minneapolis, MN 55405 Why: Because the men and women who volunteer to serve are awesome and we want to let them know how much we appreciate them. How: All items will be donated either through generous donations from the community and it's businesses or from in-kind donations on the day of the event. Contingency plan: In the event we fall short of our goal we have augmented a non-profit organization to make up the difference however due to the volume they are not able to complete the entire order in time for the care packages to arrive in country by the holiday season.

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.
