Event overview

FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY event And that time has come again. You may have heard grand stories of the last few years of cabin in the woods. The stories were probably all true. This year, we are changing cabins and it'll be glorious. BYOB and BYO snacks, but meals will be provided. Depending on how many people register, some of us may need air mattresses, tents, hammocks and such to get through the night. We have have service project at Flight 93 National Memorial on Saturday. That portion will be posted as a separate event once the details are finalized. Adult only event, apologies to all our little members.

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.
