In 2012, the Armed Forces Pavilion & Community Garden was nothing more than a dream and a dirt lot. A collaborative effort of numerous Veterans and FSP set in motion a plan to give Veterans a common place to work together on healing, to join with the community, and learn about each other!
Through overwhelming support from local businesses and countless hours from volunteers, that dream is now a reality!
Getting Down and Dirty
Are you a business owner that has a service that could benefit the garden? Do you have able hands? Or do you just want to play in the dirt? We want your help and so do Veterans. Contact us today and let us know when you’d like to volunteer.

An Evening of Gratitude
A healthy community garden that is able to adapt and pursue their goals in a sustainable way can be, and are, driving forces for health in the communities and landscapes they serve.

The Annual Forget-Me-Not
Fundraiser Dinner
Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable night at the Annual Forget Me Not Dinner! It was a powerful evening of music, community, and purpose in support of the Forgotten Soldier Program.
Held at the Armed Forces Pavilion & Community Garden in Auburn, this event brought together Veterans, First Responders, families, and supporters to raise funds for mental health services, PTSD/PTSI support, and suicide prevention. With dinner, dancing, the incredible CTRL-ALT-DEL Band, a silent auction, and generous hearts all around, this night was one to remember!
Over 24,000 Veterans, First Responders, and their families have been served by the Forgotten Soldier Program since 2005, at no cost to those receiving care.
Watch, share, and help us keep the mission going!
