Columbus GA Platoon

Event overview

Hi, Team! This Event Was Chosen For Us To Give Back And Say Thank You To Those That Have Paved The Way For Us To Live With The Freedoms That We Often Take For Granted. We will be serving holiday meals that will be prepared by The American Legion and other community organizations to Veterans from the Warrior Home of Tuskegee, AL and a nursing home in Columbus, GA. So many of our Veterans have been forgotten and left behind at these facilities. The task is upon us to be there for them as they have allowed us to have the freedoms that we enjoy today. -Greeting Veterans at the entrance -Assisting Disabled Veterans into the dining hall from the bus -Serving plates... main course, beverages, and desserts -Aiding with Clean-up -Assisting with karaoke -Assist with giving gift bags to each Veteran -Assisting Disabled Veterans onto the bus -Team Photo

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.
