Turn Your Pumpkins Into Purpose

Instead of tossing your pumpkins after Halloween, give them a second life. From November 1–3, 2025, bring your unpainted, uncarved pumpkins to one of our community drop-off locations and help feed rescued farm animals across Southern California.

Last year, our community donated thousands of pounds of pumpkins—keeping them out of landfills and transforming them into nutritious treats and joyful enrichment for pigs, goats, cows, and more. With your help, we’ll do it again this year.
