Event overview

Join Indianapolis 1st Platoon for MLK Day of Service! We will be back at our Operation Brightwood Future partner site, Edna Martin Christian Center in Martindale-Brightwood, for a great day of volunteering and engagement with the community. Come ready to work so we can support the community in providing a safe and comfortable environment for children to learn and play. We will be constructing storage cubbies for the early childhood classroom, cleaning and organizing, and painting. After the project, we share lunch together and those interested can either listen to or participate in a community conversation about what service means to us and to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

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.
