Join TMC NYC, alongside Carry The Load, on 9/11 this Patriot Day!

Patriot Day, observed each year on September 11, is a national day of remembrance honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks of 2001, as well as the countless first responders and service members who answered the call in the days, months, and years that followed.

In recognition of this solemn day, The Mission Continues NYC is Supporting Carry The Load 's Partnership with the National Cemetery Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, to offer meaningful ways for Americans to honor those who have served our country.

Join us for a National Day of Service and Remembrance by volunteering at more than 60 VA National Cemeteries across the nation. Volunteers will help clean headstones and beautify these sacred grounds in tribute to our military, veterans, first responders, and their families.

No Skills Required and Your Assistance will make a Profound and Meaningful Difference in Remembrance.

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.
