Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

Come out and help us provide some Tender Loving Care to the school's garden bed area. Lassen Elementary is a new community partner where we have done one project in the garden bed area. We have another project scheduled there in March.These "bridge" projects help us with relationship-building and maintaining the garden bed area so it is an exciting and inviting area for the schoolchildren. Our primary task on 2/20 will be to weed the garden beds and the garden bed area. Since school will be in session we will all need to sign in via the school's new electronic sign in system. Water, gloves and sunscreen will be provided. Please bring any other sun protection items you'll need. We will meet in front of the visitor entrance to the school. Park in the visitor lot.

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.
