Event overview

Hello All,

For those who came out to The Museum of Bronx History last time, once again, I would like to thank you for your support in turning things around there. Although the weather was not in our favor that day, we did a tremendous amount of work during the time we were out there.

The Museum still has more raking, bagging, bush hedging, path trimming, and grass cutting to be done. In addition, we still need to finish hedging the outside fence line and parking clean up from weeds and overgrowth.

It may seem like we have a lot to do, but it's not as bad as I am making it out to be. Any kind of support would be appreciated.

How to get there:

By Car - Enter Museum of Bronx History or 3266 Bainbridge Ave, The Bronx, NY, 10467

By Train - Take the D train to Norwood-205th Street OR take the 4 train to Mosholu Parkway. Keep an eye on MTA updates as Trains/Buses tend to be messed up on Weekends.

By Bus - Take the Bx16, Bx10, Bx28, Bx34, BXM4, or Bx38 buses to Bainbridge Av/Reservoir Oval East (It'll drop you off in front of the Museum. Keep an eye on MTA updates as Trains/Buses tend to be messed up on Weekends.

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.
