Pumpkin Patch

image not foundPumpkin Patch is Aggie Habitat for Humanity's biggest fall fundraiser held annually in October! It all begins with the setup in late September when all the pallets are laid out at our Patch site on Covenant Presbyterian Church's grounds. Next comes pumpkin delivery during the first week of October where every pair of hands counts; an 18-wheeler will deliver 3000 plus pumpkins of all shapes and sizes that will need to be sorted and unloaded onto the pallets in the field. This year we plan on selling even more than last and are really appreciative of all the hours our members have signed up to participate in.

During the course of Pumpkin Patch, we have several school groups come out on field trips to paint pumpkins, play games, have story time, etc. Covenant Presbyterian also holds an October fall festival filled with lots of fun and games (even a hay ride!)

Pumpkin Patch's popularity in the community grows more and more every year. It is always a joy to see families come out to pick pumpkins, take pictures, and support a great cause.

Sign-ups for this event will be available at our meetings and online, and there are plenty of spots to go around. As with all out other fundraisers, Pumpkin Patch would not be possible without the tireless hours put in by our members.

Pumpkin Patch 2011 raised over $17,600 which went to building our house here in Bryan, Texas. We can't wait to make or break that amount this fall!

We always look forward to prospective partnerships and public relation opportunities regarding Pumpkin Patch. Please contact either Elly Espinoza or Hailey Minter for information about this special Habitat event.

Location


Our pumpkin patch is at Covenant Presbyterian Church at Rock Prairie and Wellborn. Covenant Presbyterian is always integral in allowing us to use their property every October.
