A.J. McClung YMCA "Community Food Intake" Planning Session

July 16, 2020

06:30 PM - 08:30 PM EDT

Columbus GA Platoon

Event overview

Great Day, Family! We will be discussing the best way to execute our event with the AJ McClung YMCA on 25 JUL 20. Due to the heat, Volunteer intake and breakfast will begin at 7a. The food intake will begin at 8a until 11a. This event is going to be AMAZING! In order to protect everyone, we will be wearing masks, gloves, closed toe shoes, bandannas (we will choose a color as a Team), TMC shirt (long sleeves optional), pants or shorts (optional). If you can think of any other protective gear needed, please let us know on this call. Our "Why?" for this event: The Mission Continues is proud to launch OPERATION NOURISH—an initiative that prioritizes veterans' mental health by mobilizing them in service of combating food insecurity. *Mr. Peabody, Director of the historical AJ McClung YMCA, has been giving care packages of food to families that are experiencing food insecurity well before the pandemic. It is necessary that we aid our Community Partner in their mission of Food Justice the most imminent and effective way possible. With school beginning in August, this event is NECESSARY. During the upcoming school year more children will be attending the "Y" while their parents are working. We will need to take in a great deal of food for the children and families that are battling food insecurity. #CharlieMike

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.
