AT THE MISSION CONTINUES,

OUR MISSION

We’re on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities. Our programs deploy veteran volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.

OUR VISION

The Mission Continues’ vision is for all veterans with a desire to continue their service to be part of a movement to transform communities.
