Event overview

In Remembrance of 9/11: Community Service Project with The Mission Continues – Atlanta

Join The Mission Continues – Atlanta Platoon as we honor the lives lost and the heroism displayed on September 11th through a day of purposeful service and community unity. In remembrance of 9/11, we’re bringing veterans, volunteers, and community members together to transform a local space into something meaningful and lasting.

This year’s project will focus on revitalizing at Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary school campus through impactful service activities, including:

Painting and Beautification to refresh and inspire shared spaces

Constructing an Outdoor Classroom to promote hands-on learning and connection to nature

Completing a Community Mural as a bold, visual tribute to resilience and hope

By serving together, we honor the spirit of unity that emerged after 9/11 and continue our mission to empower veterans while strengthening our communities.

Whether you’re a veteran, a local resident, or just someone looking to give back, your time and effort will make a lasting difference. Let’s come together, serve with purpose, and remember through action.

Service. Honor. Unity.

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.
