The Great Pumpkin Toss - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Come one, come all! Volunteers are needed to help with the annual unloading of the pumpkins this Saturday, September 27th @ 9 am. Many hands make light work! Invite your friends and neighbors, and come be a part of our giant our assembly line 🎃 This is a great way to gain those volunteer/community service hours!.

The HUMC “Pumpkin Patch” is a youth fundraiser run completely by the church and Youth Group welcoming community youth and adult volunteers, but it also involves a small army of nationwide contributors. The process starts with Pumpkins harvested directly from the fields of the Navajo Nation in New Mexico which helps with their 42% unemployment rate. The pumpkins are quickly trucked across the USA in a 40-foot semi to the church parking lot which is where the “Pumpkin Toss” unloading events will will happen on September 29th & October 11th at 9am.
The “Pumpkin Toss” involves over a hundred volunteers off loading, sizing, and positioning the entire truck load of over 3,000 pumpkins for sale in about 3 hours. These volunteers are not all HUMC members, as with every year, the “all are welcome” community event attracts community members, students from the Topsail High School such as the baseball, cheer and football teams, clubs and Scouting Organizations as well as Marine volunteers from Camp Lejeune. The Church is honored by and welcomes all the volunteers.
Your pumpkin purchase money is well spent. All the net proceeds from the Pumpkin Patch sale goes to the youth group and a local charity as determined by the youth group. The funds enable each youth to be able to go on conference events, mission trips and special occasions, by accumulating “pumpkin bucks” from working in the patch. It is the largest fundraiser of the year for the youth.
There cannot be a more complete and memorable fundraiser than this Pumpkin Patch partnership with the Navajo Indian Reservation, HUMC and our community. So many people benefit from and enjoy the event with the sale of each pumpkin. Won’t you come and join in?
