Operation Nourish: Food Distribution Day at Redland Christian Academy

July 18, 2020

08:30 AM - 02:00 PM EDT

Miami Platoon

Event overview

COVID-19 has exposed and exacerbated the underlying fragility of our social support systems, including food security and depleted the volunteer forces that typically support this work. As a result, more Americans are going hungry and our institutions are struggling to keep up. The demand at food banks across the country has skyrocketed in recent weeks — increasing by as much as 600 percent at some — underscoring just how expansive the effects of the economic downturn have been. In support of Operation Nourish, The Mission Continues Miami Platoon is supporting the Bridge of Hope at their major food distribution event at Redland Christian Academy on July 18th. Please join us in support this major food distribution in Miami-Dade county by loading up vehicle with much needed food. Water and snacks will be provided for volunteers. TMC Safety Guidelines for Volunteers: >Maintain social distancing >Wear face mask >We will NOT be doing manual registration, please ensure you register electronically

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.
