Operation Night Watch Round 3

Portland Platoon

Event overview

FINALLY....THE MISSION CONTINUES.......HAS COME BACK......TO OPERATION NIGHT WATCH!!!!!! Operation Night Watch has been serving the homeless community throughout Portland for many years. They continue to feed and cloth the community on a weekly basis along with helping create access to medical services. They have selflessly served the community and now they need our help. On Saturday, November 16th we will be joining forces to continue to help set this amazing organization up for success. We will be clearing out the storage area,mounting a sign, replacing some lights and, as always, painting the area. We will also be building some shelving units to help them organize their gear in order to better serve the homeless population in the community. So throw your blue shirt on (or get one when you get there), come out and help to make a positive impact on your community and those who need help within it. We will also have a prep day on Saturday November 11th. Feel free to sign up for that project along with this one if you can.

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.
