Volunteering at Run to Home Base

July 27, 2019

06:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT

Boston Platoon

Event overview

Over the past 9 years, the Run to Home Base - a 5-kilometer run hosted by our partners at the Home Base program - has raised over $19 million to support to help heal the invisible wounds for Veterans, Service Members and their Families. This year’s race will be held on Saturday, July 27th at Fenway. Please plan on arriving at 6AM, and we will be meeting near the check-in table at GATE B (by Fenway H.S.). Breakfast will be provided and volunteer training will start at 6:25AM. Our volunteers will serve at water stops and in cheering sections inside Fenway Park. Most importantly, volunteers will be the smiling faces and voices, helping to encourage runners and enhance their experience. All volunteers will receive a volunteer t-shirt, light breakfast and are invited to the post-race party at Tony C’s.

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.
