Event overview

Join The Mission Continues for another great day of service! This Earth Day, April 22nd, from 0830 yo 1300 at the Tamox Talom Food Forest. To start our day we will have a short informative lesson from a local Archeologist. He will teach everyone about the history of the land we will be tending to, as well as some ways Native Americans would have tended and connected with Mother Earth. There will be several things we will be working on including planting trees as well as edible and medicinal plants, pulling weeds and tending to a greenhouse that needs some TLC. This event will have plenty of work, fun, music, food, and great company to celebrate Earth Day. After our work has concluded we will enjoy lunch, a performance and a blessing of the land conducted by local Native Americans in honor of the the work contributed to the food forest.

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.
