08:00 AM - 02:00 PM CDT

Columbia MO Platoon

Event overview

As part of Operation CoMo kids we are launching a new partnership with Central Missouri Community Action. Central Missouri Community Action operates Early Head start facilities in Mid-Missouri that provide early, continuous, intensive, and comprehensive child development and family support services to low-income infants and toddlers and their families, and pregnant women and their families. We will be assisting them with revitalizing playgrounds at several of their facilities. Once we have details finalized we will send an email with the itinerary and address of where to meet. If you can only stay for part of the morning, you are still welcome to join us. This project will take place at ADA accessible facilities, and will mostly focus on tasks requiring use and shovels and wheelbarrows.

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.
