In the 22 years since 9/11, Veterans have consistently risen to the occasion, ensuring that we “never forget” the spirit of unity that defined the nation at that pivotal moment. We’ve dedicated ourselves to volunteering in under-resourced communities, lending a hand during natural disasters and serving in food banks to combat food insecurity.
Now, in 2023, the call to serve our communities echoes once more. Let’s come together to pay tribute to the service and sacrifices of our fellow Veterans. By giving back to our community, we not only continue their legacy but also ensure they are never forgotten.
The Mission Continues’ Veteran-led platoons serve across the country, organizing community projects for Veterans and volunteers to make a tangible community impact and pay tribute to those who served and sacrificed in the wake of 9/11. They might help out in schools, for example, or mentor at-risk youth. Join us in volunteering and standing #UnitedInService: www.missioncontinues.org/united-in-service.

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 that age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
Who we are
The Mission Continues is a national non-profit group that empowers Veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving Veterans the opportunity to keep serving right here at home even after the uniform comes off. Our programs deploy Veterans and volunteers to work alongside non-profit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity and more.
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 cities that have 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.
