Baltimore Platoon

Event overview

On 11 September, 2001, thousands of Americans and international civilians lost their live during one of the most traumatic days in recent American history. The Mission Continues has made it our mission to remember their loss and honor the veterans who lost their lives in the fight against the perpetrators. This year, TMC Baltimore 2nd Platoon wants to use its resources and amazing volunteers to help Bliss Meadows get on its feet in an effort to assist them with their food sustainability goals. Bliss Meadows is a recently established urban farm in Northeast Baltimore City and new partner to TMC. Although they are a new entity, they have gained a great foothold in Northeast Baltimore and we want to help them to dig their roots even more deeper. We are planning on expanding their chicken enclosure, building tables for their new greenhouse and doing various other projects to improve their infrastructure. The pandemic has been hard for everybody and Baltimore has also fallen victim to the virus. We understand that not everybody will be able or willing to attend but TMC has put measures in place to keep everyone as safe as possible during our events. If you feel that this is for you, join us on 19 September and let's show this community what we are all about. Let's get back to that team spirit and volunteer attitude. It will also be my last event as TMC Baltimore 2nd Platoon Leader. It has been two incredible years and I want to thank you all for your dedication, love of your community and service to others. I hope to see you there and ready to roll your sleeves to support Bliss Meadows.

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.
