Event overview

‘Tis the Season of Giving! The Rochester Platoon has coordinated a support project with Foodlink NY Rochester consisting of assisting in sorting and packaging holiday food packages for needy local families for 3 hours on Tuesday, November 23rd, from 1-4 pm, at the Foodlink NY distribution center at 1999 Mt. Read Blvd, Rochester, 14615. We need a team of 10 to accomplish this meaningful support project! Because of requirements from Foodlink NY, there is a 2-step registration process: 1- Register for the project on the Platoon Webpage https://missioncontinues.org/service-platoon/rochester 2- Follow this link https://app.giveffect.com/reservations/8697/join?auth=1634871987 to the initial Foodlink NY registration page. Enter your name, email, and birth date. New registrants will then be automatically taken to additional Foodlink NY informational registration pages. Some information is required; some can be skipped. Its automatic and pretty straightforward. Work gloves will be available, if necessary. Existing platoon team members should wear Platoon t-shirts; new Platoon members will be provided t-shirts at the project site.

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.
