Event overview

The Mission Continues Sacramento Service Platoon is hosting a service project for our United in Service 9/11 initiative. This year marks 21 years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Mission Continues calls on veterans to stand united and serve in their community.

The Sacramento Platoon is hosting a build project at New Roots Community Garden. The New Roots program helps increase refugees' access to and participation in the local food system through agricultural training, food access and security programming, community farming, and business development training. We will be custom building tables for the gardening efforts of New Roots. Please register today! Spots are filling fast!

More on our United In Service National Initiative:
The September 11, 2001 attacks sparked millions of Americans into service. So many felt compelled to join the United States military to defend our country in the wake of that day. Twenty-one years later, many of these men and women who stepped up to serve our veterans today still have a desire to serve this country. So today, we stand United in Service, with the help of dedicated community partners, sponsors, and volunteers, to honor those who served and sacrificed in the wake of 9/11 by continuing to serve right here at home with The Mission Continues.

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.
