Mealtime at the Mission

May 23, 2015

09:00 AM - 01:30 PM EDT

Charlotte Platoon

Event overview

Serving a meal is often an eye-opening experience, and it is a great way to serve the local community, which is why Service Platoon members will spend a few hours of their time on Saturday, May 23rd, at Charlotte Rescue Mission supporting the efforts of the Rebound Program. The Rebound Program at Charlotte Rescue Mission is a 90-day residential program empowering individuals to move beyond cycles of homelessness and addiction to become productive citizens in the community. The program uses a targeted clinical model in conjunction with a faith-based approach to help individuals go from helplessness and homelessness to empowered and capable. Service Platoon members will help cook the food, serve the residents of Charlotte Rescue Mission, and assist in clean-up after the meal. This will be a great opportunity to spend time with the individuals our platoon is committed to helping.

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.
