Event overview

Hello Austin and surrounding areas! It’s that time of year again—time to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty for our annual 9/11 Day of Service event. This year, we’re partnering with St. Elmo Elementary School to continue our mission of nurturing educational garden spaces and bringing fresh, vibrant plant life to the front of the school just in time for the fall season.

Join us as we breathe new life into the gardens, enhancing the aesthetics and creating a welcoming environment for students and teachers alike. There’s nothing like the satisfaction of planting something new, building together, and watching it grow—especially when it’s part of a project that will benefit the next generation.

Let’s kick off the new school year with some wholesome, clean fun. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just love being part of a good cause, we need your energy and enthusiasm to make this day a success. Coffee, snacks, and a water refilling station will be provided to keep you fueled as we work together to make a difference.

Come out, connect with your community, and let’s make St. Elmo Elementary a greener, brighter place to learn and grow!

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.
