Event overview

Hello Austin Community! Come out and join us assist Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4443 in Oak Hill continue building out their community garden. The garden will serve as a place of tranquility, peace, service, and goodwill by growing, maintaining, harvesting, and beautifying the greenspace. It will be a place for members, their families, and the community to enjoy the fruits of their labor, learn new skills, and come together as a whole community. We will be weeding, mulching, spreading soil, prepping the garden for the opening ceremony in March. If you'd like to support local veterans, their families, and organizations who support them join us on February 24, 2024 from 10a to 1p. We'd love to have you there!

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.
