When the red, white and blue ribbon fluttered to the ground over the fresh concrete and fragile new sprouts of grass at Veterans Grove in south Harrisburg last year, it felt like Christmas, a birthday and a graduation all in one.


After more than three years of planning, fundraising, outreach and construction, Veterans Outreach of Pennsylvania (VOPA) and their “village” of supporters arrived at this moment of celebration and fresh beginnings in May 2024.


Enthusiastic supporters at our ribbon-cutting approached us to exclaim, “You did it!”


But our team was always quick to answer: “We’ve only just begun.” For us, success and celebration would come later.
