How can you help?

1. Help Set up the Patch  & Unload Pumpkins
We will set up a fence for the patch, set out bales of straw, table and chairs, banners, and stringing/connecting lights along the fence. PLEASE BRING WHEEL BARROWS, WAGONS AND GLOVES if you have them. The Pumpkins arrive September 18! Lots of hands are needed! Bring a friend! This is a great opportunity for kids to meet service hour requirements.
2. Help Sell Pumpkins
The Pumpkin Patch will be open and selling pumpkins every day for 6 hours a day from September 20 through October 31st. There are instructions for pricing and selling onsite. It is easy and fun. Sign up with a friend! There are plenty of shifts to choose from!

**Profits will help pay for students going to Summer Camps, Mission Trips, and Retreats as well as the preschool.
3. Purchase Pumpkins & Spread the word
Get your pumpkins at St. Mark’s this September/October. Tell your friends! Prices vary based on the size of the pumpkin. There will be big pumpkins and tiny pumpkins, squash, elf houses, swans and more!

Where the Pumpkins Come From?

You know we have a pumpkin patch, but you may have asked yourself "Where did they get all these pumpkins?!" Our pumpkins come from Pumpkins USA, an organization that has partnered with the Navajo Nation in New Mexico since 1989. Employing Native Americans during harvest season, the organization provides full-time work to a region plagued by unemployment. Want to learn more? Visit pumpkinsusa.com!
