Event overview

Make a Difference in St. Louis: Volunteer at Ujima Community Garden!

Join us on Saturday, August 31st, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM for a day of service with The Mission Continues at Ujima Community Garden. Did you know that 865,400 Missouri residents are uncertain about their next meal? Even more heartbreaking, 1 in 6 children in our state struggle with food insecurity (Feeding America).

This is your chance to take action and help change those statistics. By volunteering, you'll directly contribute to increasing the amount of fresh, healthy food Ujima can provide to families in need across St. Louis.

Your time and effort will make a real, lasting impact on our community. Whether you're planting, harvesting, or helping with other garden tasks, every hand helps us move closer to a hunger-free St. Louis.

Date: Saturday, August 31st
Time: 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM
Location: Ujima Community Garden

Sign up today and be part of something bigger! Let's work together to ensure that no family in St. Louis has to wonder where their next meal will come from.

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.
