Nashville Platoon

Event overview

Nashville, The Nashville Service Platoon is being called to enlist in its next service project. On 14-JAN-2023, beginning at 0900 sharp, your mission is to help optimize the operation of a foodbank in Antioch, TN. The primary effort will be building shelving for additional food storage. Other efforts include painting, cleaning, moving materials, having fun, enjoying the camaraderie of fellow veterans, and giving your skills back to your community in a meaningful and productive way. The Branch of Nashville is a non-profit organization foodbank serving the underprivileged in Antioch, TN. During January, service platoons lead a collective effort that empowers veterans to serve in new ways. In cities across the country, The Mission Continues Service Platoons like Nashville's are organizing virtual and in-person service events that exemplify the values Dr. King championed, honor his legacy, and tackle the challenges our communities face. To mark the Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service, we salute those who fought and continue to fight, to improve their communities both in and out of uniform. We continue to serve because work is still to be done, and veterans are uniquely suited to affect meaningful and positive change.

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.
