YOUR PURCHASE HELPS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
A portion of each pumpkin patch purchase helps Clearview United Methodist Church feed people in our neighborhood who are hungry & struggling with food insecurity.
Free Little Pantries
We had three "Free Little Pantries" which are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unhoused neighbors can pick up items that are ready to eat or can be easily prepared. Additionally, those struggling with increased food and fuel prices can pick up items to prepare at home so no one goes to bed hungry.
Free Community Dinners
On the 4th Sunday of each month, we host a Community Dinner in the Fellowship Hall from 5 to 6:30 pm. Come enjoy a good, home-cooked meal, excellent community, and cool off in our newly renovated Fellowship Hall.
ABOUT OUR PUMPKINS
Thank you for purchasing your pumpkin from Clearview United Methodist Church. This pumpkin started life about 100 days ago on a pumpkin farm on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Farmington, NM. Great care has been taken in the planting, growing, and harvesting to ensure that you have purchased a quality pumpkin with a long shelf life. Nearly 100% of our farm workforce are Native American. Over 700 Native Americans are employed during the harvest months of September and October. We also have a full-time off-season NM staff that is comprised entirely of Native Americans. After ripening, this pumpkin was hand-loaded on a truck and traveled all the way to the pumpkin patch at Clearview United Methodist Church to help raise money for Clearview’s local missions.

PUMPKIN UNLOADING
We receive two pumpkin deliveries throughout the month. We could use as many volunteers as possible to help unload the truck at those times. Please consider supporting us with this immense task. The good news is that we will feed you, too!
