Monthly Service Projects
Practical opportunities to serve in the community — scheduled, organized, and easy to plug into.
A Program of The Veterans Phalanx
Next Objective: Continuing Service
Your community still needs you.
Next Objective: Continuing Service brings veterans, families, and supporters together through practical service projects and community outreach.
What This Program Is
Connection turned into action.
Veterans and supporters serve side by side through recurring service projects, local outreach, and hands-on opportunities to strengthen the communities around them.
Why It Matters
Service does not end when the uniform comes off.
Many veterans still want a mission, a team, and a way to do something useful. Continuing Service gives that energy a place to go.
How It Works
Four ways the work moves.
Team-Based Volunteering
Veterans, families, and supporters serving together. The team is part of the point.
Community Partnerships
Working alongside local organizations where help is genuinely needed.
Real-World Impact
Showing up, doing the work, and building trust through action over time.
Current Examples
What this looks like right now.

The Line Kept Moving.
On August 28, 2026, Team Mess Hall was back at Gracie's Kitchen — prepping, plating, and packing hot meals alongside kitchen staff and local student volunteers.
Veterans, families, and community members worked the line together until every meal was boxed and out the door.
Thank you to Gracie's Kitchen and every volunteer who showed up and put in the work.

Team Mess Hall at Gracie's Kitchen — July 24, 2026
Hands In The Work, Shoulder To Shoulder.
Volunteers from The Veterans Phalanx spent the day in the kitchen at Gracie's Kitchen, prepping, cooking, plating, and serving hot meals for neighbors in the community.
Team Mess Hall is a recurring rotation, not a one-time photo op. Veterans, families, and supporters show up together, take direction from the people who run the kitchen, and do the work that needs doing.
Thank you to the Gracie's Kitchen staff and volunteers who make this possible, and to everyone who gave their time to keep the line moving.
Join the line.
Bring your hands, your time, and your team. The work is steady and the community is real.
