1.2 billion pumpkins are grown in the US alone every year, and 80% of those end up in landfills, contributing to greenhouse-gas emissions (specifically methane) as they break down.  We provide an alternative: give them to the animal farms and rescues in your local communities as nutritious feed.  Because when we throw out food, we don't just waste the food; we waste all the resources -- water, soil, labor, and more-- that went into growing and delivering that food to market.  In today's economic climate, these food sources are more critical than ever. 

"Feed Animals Not Landfills" fundraiser proudly supporting the Pumpkins For Pigs Foundation, founded in 2017 with just 10 donation sites in Loudoun County, Virginia. Fast forward to today, we've expanded our reach to over 650 donation sites spread across 45 states in the U.S. and Canada. We diverted 800+ tons (1.6 million pounds) of pumpkins and other foodstuffs. This equates to preventing the carbon dioxide emissions from 72 passenger vehicles running for an entire year.

Your contribution will empower the Pumpkins For Pigs Foundation to continue our essential food waste education and outreach campaigns and build for the future. These efforts are crucial in mobilizing food donations to our network of farms, animal sanctuaries, and rescues, which we affectionately call our Donation Sites. Together, we can ensure that more surplus food finds its way to hungry, happy animals instead of contributing to landfill waste.

Join us in our mission to 'Feed Animals, Not Landfills' and drive sustainable change. Your generosity will help us reach more communities, create awareness, and build a greener, more compassionate world. Thank you for your support!
