Turning orange to green Hays churches use pumpkins to fundraise
As the temperature starts to drop and fall festivities ramp up, Methodist churches across the county turn the tradition of picking pumpkins to a business that supports people locally and afar.
In partnership with Pumpkins USA, the Methodist churches from San Marcos to Wimberley and Buda sell more than 250,000 pounds of pumpkins, with proceeds going to local charities and the Native American tribes that grow these festive fruits.
