Austin Platoon

Event overview

Due to scheduling conflicts we had to cancel our Veterans Day of Service event this Saturday. Thank you for your understanding and don't worry, we've cooked up something else for November. On Saturday November 16th, join us at Texas Coffee Traders for some coffee and carpentry! We're going to learn about different kinds of power tools and how to use them well. Then we'll build a couple corn hole sets which will be gifts for the community. The more people show up (and register!) the more gifts we can give. Come enjoy a good morning, delicious coffee, and the sweet smell of sawdust. This is a family friendly event. Beginners and experts are welcome. There will be food. Heck, lets even have a best mug contest!

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.
