- No Risk: We send the pumpkins to you on consignment, no upfront costs, no product to pay for.
- Guaranteed Profit: There is no other fundraiser that assumes all of the risk like we do. We keep a percentage of everything that you sell. You are not responsible for any unsold pumpkins. We absorb any loss due to spoilage, breakage or theft.
- Community Outreach: This project provides an avenue for introducing your organization to the community. This is the perfect opportunity to let them know who you are and what you do.
- Interaction within Your Organization: Provides an opportunity for your members to get to know each other while working together in the patch.
- Longevity and Tradition: This is a project that becomes a tradition within the community. You may very well become the “Pumpkin Church” or the “Habitat Pumpkin Sale”. People will look forward to the arrival of the pumpkins and the fellowship the patch creates.
- Fun: A well-organized patch is lots of fun and provides a festive atmosphere that draws people.
- Once a Year: When you finish one fundraising project do you find yourself planning the next one? You’ve had the experience; the car washes, the bake sales, the rummage sales, the gift wrap. You feel like you’re always asking your organization’s family to buy something or give something to support your projects. Now you can just ask them to support you by volunteering at the patch.
- Safety: Your group won’t be doing door to door sales. Your customers will come to you!
- Support: We have many years of experience and extensive training materials to help guide toward having a successful patch.
