Service Platoon Picture

NOLA 1st Service Platoon, a team of veteran and non-veteran volunteers, will be conducting our Martin Luther King Day of Service event in partnership with Sankofa Market.

We are very excited to be working with Sankofa Market and supporting them in the amazing work that they do in our great city. Sankofa's Fresh Stop Market is where neighborhood residents of the Lower Ninth Ward can purchase healthy, fresh and affordable food, most of which is grown locally at Sankofa's own gardens.

Sankofa's goal is to support the creation of a local environment that promotes positive health outcomes and builds healthier communities for generations to come.
To learn more about Sankofa visit their website at http://sankofanola.org/

We will be doing light construction and area beautification. No experience is necessary.

Children are welcome at this event.
As always, lunch and refreshments will be provided.

About The Mission Continues

Location:

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.
