Veterans Day of Service

November 11, 2017

09:00 AM - 03:00 PM EST

Atlanta Platoon

Event overview

We created a great space, and now it needs to be completed. There are a few things that we wanted to do, but ran out of time, so we are going to return to this awesome park and make it even better! We are going to partner with the Friends of the Park to host this service project and outreach event. We are going to engage the local homeless veterans that have been using this park. Friends of the Park is going to have a Veterans Day Cookout to honor the communities veterans at Mattie Freeland Park. There are a few projects that need to get completed. We are going to finish spreading the gravel on the walking path, and secure the edging that has come loose, install the basketball hoops and backboards, finish the planter boxes, and replace the colored plexi-glass that is broken. Also, we will do a community and heighborhood clean up. Additionally, there are some other surprises being planned that will make this day even better! Sign up now to get all the details as they become available. Additionally, Westside Volunteer Corps is having an event the same day! It will be at the Joseph and Sarah Caring for Vets house on Sunset Ave. Here is the link to their page to see what is happening there: http://my.unitedwayatl.org/westsidevolunteercorps/uwga-nov-signup.html

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.
