The pumpkins are coming!

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) —  Pumpkin themed everything is about to begin and later this month one of the biggest pumpkin patches in the area kicks off the Pumpkin Patch fun!

The Wesley Memorial United Methodist Youth Fellowship is opening the Pumpkin Patch between September 30 and October 31. For 27 years they have been offering  free Fall fun, photo backdrops, and fresh pumpkins.

The Pumpkin Patch began as a way to fund youth ministry and mission projects at Wesley Memorial UMC. Some of the non-profits that benefit from the Pumpkin Patch fundraiser are  Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry and Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard. Pumpkins also provide bicycles for foster children served by the Methodist Home for Children in the Wilmington area.

The Pumpkin Patch will be located at 1401 S College Rd in Wilmington.
