Event overview

This event is in collaboration with Operation Homefront, H-E-B, American Veterans Mission, and the National Mounted Warfare Museum. The Star-Spangled Babies program provides baby showers to expectant moms in growing military families. Due to deployments and frequent relocation, military parents-to-be often live far from their extended families and support systems. Moreover, like many new parents, they have questions, concerns, and fears. This program provides these new and expectant parents with baby care items, early childhood education tips at in-person events, and a support system when loved ones are far away. As volunteers, we will be at the venue at 0900 to set up. The public event opens up to parents/expectant parents at 1300. The public event ends at 1600, with tear-down and cleanup following until 1700 or until completed. Please note that we serve as the volunteer force of this event, and the program participants must be pre-registered with Operation Homefront to access the venue at 1300 hours.

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.
