L-C Valley Pumpkin Patch

Impact and Takeaways

First and foremost, THANK YOU to our 46 incredible volunteers who served a total of 320 hours at the pumpkin patch!
We hosted 20 field trips with over 300 kids.
We sold out of pumpkins for the 2nd year in a row.
We started with 43,000 pounds of pumpkins and gourds. That is over 3,000 individual pumpkins.
7 Corporate Sponsors
4 In-Kind Media Sponsors
Our net proceeds were $20,000 that will stay here in the L-C Valley to support our programs devoted to affordable housing.
We had the joy of witnessing a surprise marriage proposal in the patch!

Pumpkin Patch Fieldtrips

A Testimonial

Everyone at Fingerprints Children’s Center loved the pumpkin patch! From story time to the scavenger hunt, the field trips were well thought out and so much fun for the kids. This is such a wonderful asset for our community and we will definitely be back next year! Thank you Lewis-Clark Valley Habitat for Humanity!

Thank you Idaho Youth Academy

Thanks to the wonderful response we had to Pumpkin Patch last year, we decided to double our pumpkin order for 2021. We got a full semitruck load of pumpkins delivered on October 9th with plans to open the 10th. That would not have been possible without the help of the cadets from the Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy.

These gentlemen helped us prepare the patch for the arrival of the pumpkins. They set out pallets, arranged straw bales, installed fencing, and put up our signs. It did not stop there. The cadets worked hard without pause. As they finished prep work, the truck arrived and they helped unload 43,000 pounds pumpkins and place them around the patch.

Thanks to them, and other volunteers, the people of L-C Valley were able to come enjoy our Pumpkin Patch the very next day.
