GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) – The Buy a Pumpkin Feed a Child pumpkin patch at the Gainesville Church of God will open tomorrow after experiencing some delays due to Hurricane Ian.
The patch was mostly set before they heard the news of Hurricane Ian.
They then worked with the City of Gainesville to figure out which items needed to be taken down to ensure their safety.
The pumpkin patch opens Saturday, Oct. 1, just one day after they originally planned to open this season.
Since 2013, they have given 100% of their profits to families and children in need.
This year, they also sent some volunteers to areas of Southwest Florida that were devastated by the hurricane.
Visitors are welcome to the patch through October 31, where they’ll find photo opportunities, games, bounce houses, pumpkins and food, including their famous “pumpkin bread.”
