Paws & Paint

July 12, 2025

09:00 AM - 02:00 PM MDT

El Paso Platoon

Event overview

Join us as we lend a paw to our furry friends at the Humane Society of El Paso! Together, we’ll enhance the dog play area by painting 480 feet of wooden fencing and assembling and painting two brand-new picnic tables. This hands-on project is a great way to make a lasting impact on the lives of shelter animals and the staff who care for them. After all the hard work is done, we'll take a well-earned lunch break and then enjoy some time engaging and playing with a few of the four-legged residents who benefit from this upgraded space. Important Notes: Volunteers must be 13 years of age or older to participate. Please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes for safety. Let’s come together, get a little messy, and make a big difference!

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.
