Event overview

Municipality of Toa Alta (Office of the First Lady) is requested help from The Mission Continues (Puerto Rico Service Platoon) to help with the revitalization of this school that was closed by the Department of Education some years ago and has been taken over by looters who stole and or destroyed government property. After clearing, cleaning and putting up to date this school will be used in efforts to regain with a positive impact in the community by dividing it into two parts: Community Center and Emergency Shelter. This school needs a lot of Love to be able to impact in a positive way. Join us to help this community be given back to a positive use. Come help us give a helping hand in Toa Alta.

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.
