Service Project

Project Double Duty

March 31, 2018

09:00 AM - 01:00 PM CDT

Houston Platoon

Event overview

Join us as we follow back up at two of our project sites from last year: Bryan Street Pocket Park and Jenkins Butterfly Garden. Similar to last year, we will provide maintenance for beautification. We will be mulching, planting flowers that may have died over the harsh winter, adding additional granite gravel to the pond, and picking up litter. The two sites are within walking distance from each other. We will start at Bryan Street Pocket Park then split up and return back to eat. As always, we will have breakfast, lunch, refreshments, and a t-shirt for first timers. Family friendly activities so bring the kids.

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.
