As veterans help others, they help themselves too

About 3,000 people are homeless on any given night in Hillsborough County. But here’s a way to help: support the Tampa 1st Service Platoon, part of a national nonprofit called The Mission Continues.

The Platoon is fighting homelessness with the support of military veteran volunteers by providing housing and meals for the homeless, among other services. The Mission Continues empowers veterans adjusting to life at home by helping them find purpose through community involvement.

Give Day proceeds will pay for supplies and equipment needed to complete veteran-led service projects. You don’t have to be a veteran to join.
