#HerMission with Catie's Closet

March 24, 2018

10:00 AM - 02:00 PM EDT

Boston Platoon

Event overview

In honor of Women's History Month, the Boston 1st Service Platoon is hosting a women's service project in partnership with Catie's Closet. Catie's Closet allows students living in poverty the ability to discreetly pick and choose the clothing and basic necessities they need, and are proud to wear. The goal is to install Catie's Closets in all Boston Public Schools, and they need our help! We are looking for 10 dynamic female veterans and community members come out and volunteer with us for a good cause. We will be prepping and painting the room at Ellis Elementary School for shelving and clothes. Because we will be painting, this event is for ages 16+. We will provide water and lunch for participants.

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.
