This is our official PREP DAY for our November 5th event being held the very next day. So if you cannot make it on the 5th, we hope to see you there on the 4th. As always...refreshments and food will be taken care of.

For our PREP DAY, we will be prepping all wood and paint, as well as the landscaping needs. Pre-staging everything will make for a smooth main event the next day.

Tripler Fisher Houses

The Fisher House Foundation currently has donated 65 Fisher Houses throughout the continental United States as well as two in Hawaii, one in Alaska and two in Germany. We have two beautifully decorated homes located above the backside of Tripler Army Medical Center that can accommodate 19 families at any one time. We stay at 100% occupancy while maintaining a waiting list for those incoming patients & their families. Our priority is combat wounded, life or death regardless of where they come, then as their medical severity dictates. We work to accommodate as many families as possible. While we can not assist everyone we have partnered with the IHG hotel located on Tripler to assist with our overflow while they are on our waitlist, these families can receive a reduced rate. Please check with the Fisher House manager for more details and assistance. Eligibility to stay in our homes depends on the PATIENT'S enrollment in DEERS. ALL OUTPATIENTS staying at the Fisher House are REQUIRED to have a Non Medical Attendant, regardless of what you are being treated for, no exceptions. Each family will receive one room with a private bathroom. All guests are encouraged to take advantage of the rest of the house. Common areas include the living room, family room, dining room as well as a beautiful spacious kitchen, laundry room and lanai with a million dollar view.

The unique thing about these homes is that the families are not only guests, but volunteers who will be responsible for the upkeep of the home during their stay, as if it were their own home. There is no maid service or room service available.

The intent is to create a nurturing homelike atmosphere that fosters rehabilitative opportunities to reintegrate the patients and families back into their normal lifestyle as quickly as possible.

About The Mission Continues

Location:

1141 South 7th Street, Saint Louis, MO 63104, US

Mission Statement

We are on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities: empowering veterans to continue their service, while empowering communities with the talent, skills and preparedness of veterans to generate visible impact.

Description

The Mission Continues is a national, nonpartisan nonprofit that empowers veterans to continue their service, and empowers communities with veteran talent, skills and preparedness to generate visible impact.

Veterans possess the drive and desire to serve others, but without access to the tools needed, their potential to make meaningful impact at the local level remains untapped. On the other end of the spectrum growing numbers of communities in this country are under-resourced and being left behind.

At The Mission Continues, we’re on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities.

Our programs in cities across the country deploy veteran volunteers alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, increase access to parks and green spaces, foster neighborhood identity, and more.

Our vision is for all veterans with a desire to continue their service to be part of a movement to transform communities.
