Pumpkins for the Pov

The Poverello Center provides food, shelter, help and hope to our community members living in poverty.

Pumpkins with a Purpose:

The Poverello Center Food Programs work hard to get our most vulnerable neighbors fed every day of the year.  We provide hot lunch and dinner, sack lunches and Food Pantry services each week, which not only feeds people experiencing homelessness but also helps keep people housed. 

Since 2016, Pumpkins for the Pov has raised crucial funding for Food Programs through the sale of organic, locally grown pumpkins. Our dedicated partners and supporters make this fundraiser possible, and we are so grateful for each of our sale locations and sponsors.

Buy your pumpkins with purpose this year at our sale locations around town throughout October!
