Event overview

Hey Ladies! Yes, all of you strong, beautiful, intelligent and amazing women out there! This one is for you! Join the women of The Mission Continues in Pittsburgh as we work alongside women and children from the Homewood community in creating some fabulous outdoor community spaces with our Homewood Platoon partners, Operation Better Block. Although this isn't a South Hills specific project, South Hills Platoon will be supporting this event in honor of Women's History Month. We will be landscaping, planting, building planter benches and much more! This project will be lead, from the beginning, by The Mission Continues women platoon members, the female staff at Operation Better Block and women from the Homewood community. Lunch will be provided to all registered participants! Join us to celebrate #HerMission and take this opportunity to serve alongside other daughters, sisters, mothers and friends. This event is open to all ages and abilities. We welcome men and women who are interested in celebrating Women's History Month and the empowerment of our community's women!

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.
