Every year, First Parish of Westwood holds a pumpkin sale, with net proceeds going to benefit charities such as New Life Furniture Bank, Greater Boston Food Bank, Rosie's Place and Lifeworks' Harris Fund. The pumpkins you buy here are Pumpkins with a Purpose. 

Children can wander among possible selections of different sizes, and lingering for photos is welcome. Cost is based on size.

The Pumpkins with a Purpose patch will be open weekends in October, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. Additional hours on late Friday afternoons are also being contemplated.
