Event overview

Hey TMC NYC, hope you're enjoying your Spring so far. In the meantime, we're in the works to assist another Greenspace at Bronx River Community Garden. This Community Garden is creating a Greenspace dedicated to the Historical Preservation of the Lenape Tribe. A Native American People that THRIVED in New York City before the Arrival of the Dutch. The Garden is in the Process of Receiving a New Shed to Store things. The Shed is in need of a Solid Foundation in which we will assist in building. There are other Tasks such as painting, mulching, gardening, sanding,, etc. that anyone from the Community can take part and pride in.

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.
