Service Project

9/11 Day of Service

September 14, 2019

07:00 AM - 01:00 PM ADT

Puerto Rico Platoon

Event overview

The Mission Continues is partnering with Starbucks on an incredibly impactful day of service. We are partnering with a local farm to help plant hundreds of coffee trees. The coffee farming industry was deeply affected by Hurricane Maria, so this is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to help the island rebuild and thrive. On this day of service, we will help 3 farmers with restoring the coffee trees that were destroyed by Hurricane Maria and plant up to 3,600 trees in under 4 hours. We will meet at Centro Communal Tanamá 8:00am and board buses to the three different farms we'll be working at in Adjuntas that are less than 10 minutes away from our meet up location. Starbucks is setting up a shuttle bus for anyone in the San Juan area who want a free ride to and from the service project. Stay tuned for more details on meet up location and time. We hope you can make it!

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.
