For this day of service, two veteran-led service platoons will support Century Villages by beautifying and reorganizing the thrift store on the campus. Volunteers will empty the entire store to organize donated items, re-paint the facility, design a new waiting room, reception desk, and add new storage solutions throughout the space. Volunteers will also create a large mural in one of the outdoor seating areas.
Century Villages at Cabrillo is former US Naval Housing Complex, converted to a residential community aimed at breaking the cycle of homelessness for veterans in 1997. Currently, the community can house over 1,000 persons and provides transitional and permanent housing to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.

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.
