Military Farmer's Market

March 10, 2019

10:00 AM - 01:00 PM CST

Houston Platoon

Event overview

The Houston Food Bank has been working with Houston’s Military community to better address food insecurity issues facing Veterans, Reservists and their family members. One of the ways Houston Food Bank will be addressing food insecurity is providing mobiles at military focused events. The event is the first distribution the Houston Food Bank is having during a drill day. Volunteers will help with set up (tables, tents, etc.) and will help unload the food truck and arrange food on tables in a “Farmer’s Market” type style. Once people begin to arrive, volunteers will assist with crowd control, client sign-in and helping load vehicles for those who may need help. Volunteers should dress according to the weather, closed toed shoes are preferable. I would also suggest bringing a water bottle.

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.
