Event overview

Hey TMC NYC, I hope your Staying Hydrated 💦 in this Sweltering Heat 🥵 this Summer ⛱️🌞. We're back at it with Brook Park.

Brook Park is especially appreciative of the work we've done the past 3 Service Projects since May. Tasks Accomplished with the Wire Mesh Fencing, Reorganization of their Storage Shed, Planting of Vegetables 🍅🍆🥒🌶️, String Trellis installation in their 8 Newly Built Garden Beds. Along with 1 of the 3 Drip Irrigation Systems They're in need of assistance as TMC NYC will install the remaining 2 Drip💧Irrigation Systems throughout the Park & Garden. Ultimately, this will assist the Park & Garden in watering 💦 there Vegetable Plants. This would alleviate the need for daily visits of staff, members & volunteers. This will directly Benefit the Community in the Food Garden Growing Fresh Produce to Harvest.

No formal skills required, just a willingness to use your hands and building things. Those Interested in this Project coming into their Food Gardens or Farms should attend.

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.
