Event overview

Come join us to celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. by practicing what he preached and help connect the people of Harlem with the building of a Community Space and Garden on 134th Street. The 134th Street Block Association has been using an empty lot to gather for neighborhood events and gathers. The Mission Continues has been working hard with the 134th Street Block Association to make the lot a space that the neighborhood can be proud of and a center for activity for the community. On this Dr. Martin Luther King Day we are going to continue to make this dream a reality by continuing the plan to revitalize the lot into a Community Space and Garden with the construction of a performance stage, garden beds and a shaded pergola for the summer. Please join us in building our communities one brick ( or garden bed) at a time! Charlie Mike!

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.
