TEXAS Donation Locations
It is recommended to reach out to the individual Farms & Sanctuaries listed below for drop-off hours and quantity limits.
Donated pumpkins are excellent feed and a wonderful treat to the animals on the farms and sanctuaries. Pumpkins also make great compost. Pumpkins used during the holidays for decoration (un-carved, non-inked/non-painted) are perfect for donation, and its a waste to throw them out when they are still useful to feed the animals.
