Event overview

Are you looking to do something different? Well I've got just the project for you. We're going to the country for sweat equity social with horses. We will be replacing fence posts out in the arena and putting a floor in the tack room with materials at hand. After we put in the sweat equity come the fun part, the horses. We will get to learn about AFEC and interact with the horses. This is a family friendly event. There are 3 miniature horses For more information on AFEC https://www.rideafec.org/ Lunch will be provided. Accessibility: this project may not be accessible for all as it will be on uneven terrain.

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.
