In light of recommendations from the CDC and federal administration to limit the number of people gathering in one area, Trinity Cafe has transitioned to a to-go model at this time. Anyone in need of a meal can stop by Trinity Cafe locations to collect up to 4 to-go meals for the week. -Minimum age to volunteer at Trinity Cafe is 16 years old. Here are some important reminders to help you best prepare for your time with us: - You will be volunteering at Trinity Cafe, a program of Feeding Tampa Bay, at 2801 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa FL 33602. - Cancellation: If you must cancel for any reason, sign into your account and simply cancel your shift. If you need to cancel a group of 5 or more, please email us at volunteer@feedingtampabay.org or call 813.865.4823. It is important to cancel shifts ASAP, so we can fill your space. We rely on volunteers to operate efficiently. - Community service hours accepted for school/work requirements ONLY. You must bring a form with the school/work logo on it to be signed the day you volunteer. The daily volunteer coordinator or a cafe staff member are authorized to sign. - We are NOT ABLE to accept court-mandated hours at the Trinity Cafe locations.

- Parking: Turn into the parking lot from Nebraska Ave. and park in any available space. The "volunteer entrance" to the cafe is at the back of the building. Enter the double doors next to the generator; this takes you directly into the kitchen. You will be directed to the dining room. If our main parking lot is full (please do not double park), you may park across the street at the Family Dollar Store providing you do NOT use the parking lot in front of the entrance; you may park on the side.

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.
