Event overview

Join the Columbus 1st Platoon as we tackle on our first service project on the Southside!! Through a new partnership with the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, we will spend the day working with multiple Southside food pantries and the Clarfield Farm, an urban farm in the Marion-Franklin neighborhood. The event will kickoff at the Reeb Ave Center promptly at 9am, so please arrive a few minutes early to get registered. At the Reeb Ave Center you will receive your volunteer assignment for the day, then branch out to work with one of the pantries or at the farm. Lunch will be provided onsite and the event will wrap up back at the Reeb Ave Center! This event promises to be a great event that sets the foundation for our future support to the Southside!

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.
