Put More FUN
In Your Next
Fundraiser!

The Pumpkin Patch has provided for the community a chance to bring family together and make this season of the year a joyful experience rather than a chore. Shiloh has wrapped its arms around the community in celebration of God’s harvest in pumpkins.”

We want to thank you all so much for the partnership with our church and the Pumpkin Patch Fundraiser. This has been a tremendous ministry on our church for many years. The last 2 years, theis has grown leaps and bounds over years past in terms of not only sales, but involvement with our church, involvement with our community, and in many other areas.

Throughout the patch season, we hear all kinds of stories of how the pumpkin patch touches the lives of our community! They are truly inspirational stories and we have realized the patch does way more than just raise dollars.

The patch is a true joy for our church and it really does bring our community together! We are known as “The Pumpkin Church!” We are so looking forward to next season and cannot wait! We truly appreciate the partnership!

Alamo Heights United Methodist Church started our Pumpkin Patch in 1995. We dedicated all proceeds to build homes for Habitat for Humanity. Our homes for Habitat have been accomplished strictly from funds raised through our Pumpkin Patch.

We involved all of our church family. I knew from the beginning that this project was too big for just one area to be able to facilitate. In order for it to accomplish what we hoped it would, it was necessary for this to be a church wide family mission project. All of our church family participates, from our senior adults to our toddlers. There is a place for everyone! We have even written our own children’s story about the pumpkins and why we do this project.

Because we are giving all the profits to Habitat, we have created an ongoing interest for our local media. We have had incredible coverage from our local television stations, radio, and newspapers. The highlight of our patch last year was being on the national broadcast of the “Today Show” doing the “What a difference today makes” spot. We have actively sought and continued to develop an ongoing interest in our “Pumpkin Partners for Habitat” ministry.

God has truly blessed this project since its inception and it is for his glory that it continues to grow, to bring our church family closer, to provide homes for habitat, and to further his kingdom on earth. I am so grateful to Richard and Janice Hamby for their continued dedication to this project. With a Grateful Orange Heart!!!”
