Event overview

On Saturday, September 13th, we’re heading to the Magoffin Veterans Shelter to give back to those who have served our country and now need a helping hand. This vital facility provides food, shelter, and support to unhoused veterans in our community, and we’re proud to do our part to make it a more welcoming place. We’ll be working together to enhance their outdoor space, including: Repainting parts of the front porch Building raised garden beds Creating a new front garden Revitalizing the existing garden Constructing a seating bench for residents to relax and connect Check-in begins at 8:30 AM, and we’ll kick off the project at 9:00 AM, working until around 3:00 PM. Please note: This project is limited to adult volunteers only (18+). Whether you’re handy with a paintbrush or just ready to lend a hand, we’d love to have you join us. Your time and energy can make a lasting impact in the lives of those who’ve given so much.

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.
