2023 United in Service Orange County: OC Foodbank

September 16, 2023

08:30 AM - 10:30 AM PDT

Orange County Platoon

Event overview

September 11, 2023, marks 22 years since the devastating terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. In the wake of 9/11, a generation of veterans answered the call to serve with The Mission Continues. In the 22 years since 9/11, veterans have continued to step up.

The Mission Continues strives to assemble a meaningful project every year around 9/11 weekend. The Orange County Service Platoon is partnering with the OC Foodbank this year.

We will be doing the assembly line of packing food boxes for seniors. The more hands, the merrier.

I hope to see all y'all's smiling faces 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.
