Text Box: How can pumpkins have a purpose?  Our pumpkins work hard!  Not only are they beautiful, but all proceeds from their sale are used for First Parish outreach efforts.  2005 funds were donated in support of Gulf Coast hurricane relief efforts; 2006 funds supported our Christmas Family program.  By purchasing your pumpkins at First Parish, you help us (and our pumpkins) help others—teamwork at its best!
