Pumpkin Patch

St. Thomas’ opened our first Pumpkin Patch in 2008. It’s an amazing outreach project that does good at every level. Our pumpkins are grown and harvested on Navajo reservation land in Northern New Mexico, bringing economic growth to that community. ALL proceeds from our patch are donated to these local charities. Then, when the patch is over, any pumpkins we don’t sell are donated to help feed the animals at Rikki’s Refuge (a no-kill animal sanctuary located in Orange, VA). 

 

The Pumpkin Patch will reopen in OCTOBER!

Opening hours – Sat & Sun 10AM to 6PM, Mon-Fri 12PM to 6PM

 

 

Thank you 8th graders from Cooper, Kilmer and Longfellow Middle Schools that helped unload and reload our pumpkins.

We couldn’t have done it without you!

 

What do we do with our leftover pumpkins?

We donate them to Rikki’s Refuge, a non-kill large animal sanctuary in Orange, VA. 

 

If you’re a local 8th grader looking for community service hours we’d welcome you to help unload our pumpkins on Saturday October 4th!  Sign up coming soon. In November, we will have another community service event to help load the truck for our pumpkin donation to Rikki’s Refuge.

Unloading and reloading are rain or shine. Mask are optional and welcome indoors. 

 

If you’re a St. Thomas parishioner looking to sign up to staff the pumpkin patch – the sign up is coming soon.
