Event overview

Are you ready to Rock & Roll? Then let's get outside and get into the garden! We'll be building a small rock wall and harvesting some tasty fruit, and we need YOU! We are looking for 10 people who are willing to help move rocks and gravel, so if you can lift rocks and move gravel, PLEASE come out and help us with this awesome project. We will also have weeding and fruit picking to do in the shade, plenty of cold water and a delicious lunch! This is a project that will help support the garden for many years, and your help will have a huge impact. Please join us for a great day of good work for our community!

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.
