Columbus OH Platoon

Event overview

Join the Columbus 1st Platoon as they give back to one of their own during the 2019 Rebuilding a Healthy Neighborhood event led by ModCon Living!! In 2018, the platoon had the opportunity to home and garden work for Stan Griggs, a WWII veteran and this year, the platoon has an opportunity to do the same for Albert Gill, a Gulf War Veteran living in the Little Farms neighborhood of West Columbus. Activities for the day include tilling and seeding the yard, power-washing the house, painting inside and out and other smaller odds and ends to make sure he has a safe and healthy home to live in! These activities are all part of the larger Rebuilding a Healthy Neighborhood event taking place in Little Farms. The event will see 300-400 volunteers working on 15+ houses in the same area on the same day. Don't miss this opportunity!! NOTE: Minors should be at least 14 years old to volunteer.

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.
