Event overview

Join Houston 2nd Platoon as we celebrate Earth Day! We are hosting a How to Start Seeds at Home with a Gardening Starter Kit. Get your kids excited about gardening, and you’ll have a healthy, fun activity the whole family can enjoy. While your children help you plant seeds, and water plants they’ll learn where their food comes from and how to grow it themselves. They’ll also get some exercise in the fresh air and sunshine, while you’ll get some help with your flowers, herbs, and veggies. In support of our #RootedinService campaign Houston 2nd Platoon will deliver to registered families the following: (1) Professional Greenhouse with Plant label starter kit (3-6) variety herbs and/or flower seed packs (1) 8 inch Terra Cotta Clay Pot to transfer your growing plant or flower! Get outside and take lots of pictures of your kiddos, friends, and family gardening together!

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.
