Event overview

We're excited to join forces with the staff of Bakery On Main to build upon the great work their late founder, Michael Smulders, envisioned and brought to life when he launched the Growing Roots Community Garden in East Hartford, CT during the Spring of 2020. We'll prepare the garden for planting season as well as general beautification and maintenance to the garden and surrounding area for future expansion and growth. Come ready to get your hands dirty and serve alongside like-minded folks ready to provide better access to fresh produce for the community of East Hartford!

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.
