Event overview

IMPORTANT! PLEASE SIGN UP ON THE MARATHON REGISTRATION AS WELL! http://pittsburghthreeriversmarathoninc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=43875&job_name=mission+continues Join us and the Homewood community to cheer on all the marathon runners in the 2020 Pittsburgh Marathon! We'll be serving alongside our great mission partners at Operation Better Block and handing out water at mile marker 17.5 in Homewood. You will likely see a few familiar faces running through Homewood. Year after year, Homewood is often noted as having the best, largest, and loudest cheering section. Come be part of the fun and festivities. Please check out the Pittsburgh Marathon site for all road closures and detours during the event. Please plan to arrive early so we ensure the water station has enough volunteers when the lead runners come through. https://www.thepittsburghmarathon.com/ All ages are welcome! Meals will not be provided so please bring a snack or coffee. Accessibility: we will be passing out water on the street so it should be largely accessible. There are porta-potties on site for the runners/spectators. In the past, they have not been accessible.

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.
