Event overview

2nd Saturday of each month Tarrant Area Food Bank and Arlington Charities hold a mobile Food Pantry at St. Andrews UMC. Volunteers are needed to set up, fill bags of food, socially distance load bags into vehicles {trunk, rear storage, truck bed, etc.} and directing traffic. Volunteers are asked to be there by 8am for safety briefing. Setup begins at 7:30. 9 am is the time scheduled to start but it has started early due to traffic backups. Usually the last client is served between 10:30 and 11. Cleanup done by 11:30. Dress for the weather as this is a rain or shine event.

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.
