Every fall, the corner of Coit and Arapaho transforms into one of our community's favorite traditions: the Arapaho UMC Pumpkin Patch. More than a seasonal destination, the Pumpkin Patch helps support mission and outreach ministries at Arapaho UMC while also providing vital income for the New Mexico Navajo communities who grow the pumpkins.
It all begins on Saturday, October 4, at 10:00 am, when a truck full of pumpkins arrives and we work together to unload and set up the patch. It's a fun morning of teamwork, laughter, and community, and the more volunteers who join us, the quicker the work goes. The patch itself will open around 11:30 am.
Volunteers can sign up now to serve throughout the season to unload pumpkins, greet visitors, help families find the perfect pumpkin, and making the patch a welcoming place for our neighbors.
