Every year almost $1 Billion is spent on pumpkins in the US around Halloween. A vast majority of these end up being thrown away. We strive to recover pumpkins for food.
This year, several farms are again supporting donation of pumpkins after the Halloween season. If you’d like to help with harvesting pumpkins, please contact us (live sign up page link expected by Oct 15th).
In 2024, we worked with our amazing partner farms around the Bay Area to distribute through Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. We collected over 12,500 lbs of delicious pumpkins. Thanks to Village Harvest, WebbRanch and Bianchi Flowers for supporting this effort!
In 2023, we expanded and scaled this program, with generous donations from farms in the Bay area with distribution through Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. We collected over 15,000 lbs of nutrient rich resilient and delicious pumpkins.
In 2022, we donated 700lbs of food for consumption through Ecumenical Hunger Program East Palo Alto. We’d like to thank all the donors and to WebbRanch for their generosity.
We look forward to continuing this next year…If you’d like to volunteer, please reach out!
